the best treatment for you would be removal if the cyst casing itself. if youve already had it drained and it came back they can try injecting it with a steroid but usually this is reason enoough to have it removed.
this is an office procedure for an orthopedist.
any exercises if not already directed by a physical therapist can exacerbate things, since fluid in the area from inflammation can just increase the size.\
