How is a Baker’s Cyst Diagnosed?

It is important to always visit a qualified medical professional if you suspect that you have either a Baker’s Cyst or feel that your Baker’s Cyst may have ruptured or burst.

Your doctor will likely require you to have an ultrasound, which will be able to confirm the diagnosis of a Baker’s Cyst.

An ultrasound will also importantly rule out or alert the doctor to any existence of a blood clot which can have several similar symptoms to a Baker’s Cyst.

If your doctor suspects an infection then they may require a blood test and possibly an aspiration of the synovial fluid for testing & culturing.

In some cases, an x-ray or MRI may be required to rule out any co-existing conditions that may have contributed to the condition.

Hence why it is always important to have a proper diagnosis.

Importantly it can present similarly to a blood clot, hence it is important to see a medical professional in order to rule this out.

Hip bursitis

I have been suffering from bursitis in my right hip since last August.

I saw your website and ordered 20 patches. I used a patch for 3 nights and didn’t notice much difference, and there was just a slight amount of fluid in the patches each night.

Last night I moved the patch a little and I couldn’t believe it this morning! The patch was soaked with fluid, so much that it was starting to ooze from the patch.

My hip felt much better this morning.

Thank you

Baker's cyst

Dear Sir or Madam:

I purchased the OSMO patch several weeks ago and just started using them 4 days ago for my Bakers Cyst behind my knee.

I must admit I was very skeptical but I have noticed a change and less swelling in the area behind my knee.

Thank you

Knee Baker's Cysts and Meniscus tears

I’ve had knee problems for 3 decades and have had 4 surgeries due to an ACL tear and numerous Meniscus tears. Due to these problems, I’ve had a chronic problem with a Baker’s Cyst which I’ve been living with for years and the swelling has kept me in constant pain.

I definitely recommend the OSMO patches. They have given me substantial relief from the pain that I was experiencing. I’ve recommended the patches my Physical Therapist and he’s recommended them to his patients. I’ve also recommended the patches to my Surgeon and he is now recommending the patches in lieu of injections.

Tendonitis or bursitis

I have been prescribed XXXXXXXX 750mg for my shoulder. Tendonitis or bursitis, my Doctor said.

The anti inflammatory meds were working well until I moved some furniture for my wife and then the pain came right back with a vengeance.

I put a patch on my shoulder last night and was amazed when I removed it this morning! It looked like a used feminine hygiene product! And today the pain is so much better.

Amazing! Hopefully I can keep from the needles, cortisone and the MRI.

Thanks so much!
