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.

Baker's cyst

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I received my patches and after wearing them two nights, my baker’s cyst is almost gone – and no more pain!

Elbow bursitis

Dear Toky, this is to follow up on my last email.

After the 7th patch, the swelling began to go down. I did have to use all 10 patches, but by that time the swelling was gone and my elbow was back to normal.

So the patches did work, and I am completely satisfied. I would buy them again and recommend them to others.

Thanks so much.

Ankle and hips (trochanter bursitis)

Thank you very much.

I have used the patches on three areas with amazing results. One was on my ankle, 12 hours later the pain was completely resolved. The other two were on my hips for greater trochanter bursitis.

Both hips feel not completely pain-free, but a dramatic difference.

So thank you, and I have to say I am amazed.

Baker's cyst.

Back in July I hurt my knee, and later formed a baker’s cyst…it got so bad that I could not bend my knee without a lot of pain. I had to walk with my leg stiff at all times.

I found your website and ordered a ten pack…used them, and in no time the swelling was down, but not gone. I could bend my knee and walk normal…something I have not done since July. I ordered your patches again…Because from the time I used my last patch, til I got my order, some of the swelling and stiffness came back…started using them again…and just like before the cyst is going down…without needles! Love that.

I just want to say thank you!, my knee is almost back to normal… the best thing I have ever used.

Fluid on knees

We have purchased your patches for application on my husband’s knee. It certainly drained some fluid from his knees, giving some relief after one application.
