While some soreness can be seen, never mess with the knees, especially since you have a surgical history. There's no harm in having your ortho look at it/MRI.

Edit: X-ray will not really show anything since it's likely soft tissue, only if there's some bony damage or significant inflammation

Sam Waterston, am I thinking right that his physical exam of the knee and MRI would really be all he could do right?

eta: cysts were in this knee ... op report says that they evacuated them but the outside still feels "squishy" for a lack of a better term. And yes, I'm aware xrays more than likely won't be helpful with this.
