What are the Signs & Symptoms of a Baker’s Cyst?

A Baker’s Cyst is a painful condition which can be caused by nearly any joint-related injury.

The signs and symptoms of Baker’s Cysts may include:

Visible swelling or protrusion at the back of the knee, which can be either with or without pain.
There may also be minimal visual swelling, however you may be experiencing constant and prolonged pain in the back of the knee.
There could also be tightness or simply the feeling of tenderness at the back of your knee.

If left untreated there is a risk that a Baker’s Cyst may actually rupture.

A ruptured or burst Baker’s Cyst can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.

Baker's cyst

Dear Toky,

Thank you for the OSMO patches.

I’m seeing a big reduction in the swelling and pain.

Thanks

Baker's cyst behind knee and calf pain

I’ve had a Baker’s cyst behind my right knee, caused by an injury, for 4 years.

It is excruciatingly painful. I received cortisone injections every 3 months to ease the pain, but to no avail. Luckily, I stumbled upon your website. I put one behind my knee and one on the front of my calf. To my surprise, the swelling was greatly reduced by the next morning!

I would absolutely recommend the OSMO patch to anyone with this problem because I truly believe it works wonders.

I am extremely grateful for your product and I hope for many others to experience the relief I have as a result of using your OSMO patches.

Baker's cyst

Hello.

The patches arrived. Thank you very much.

I have used 3 and they are very good. They certainly draw the liquid away from the back of my knee.

Thanks very much

Knee problems

Dear Danniel,

I fell 1.5 meters landing on my patella. The pain was severe, after 2 weeks on crutches I was left with a fluid-filled bursa the size of half a golf-ball. I already had a swelling just below my kneecap for 5 years, and another specialist had thought this was probably a lipoma.

I’ve used 16 patches so far, in conjunction with acupuncture. The bursa began to shrink from the first patch, and is now almost gone. I’ve been able to return to my Taiji classes. What is more surprising is that the ‘lipoma’ also has almost vanished.

So, no invasive needle drainage for me, no surgery, and I’m recovering fast.

I am very impressed

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 on both knees

I have been meaning to write you for some time now and tell you how great the OSMO patches have worked for me.

I have had Baker’s cysts over the past 4 years on both knees. My Orthopedic Specialist drained them numerous times, plus gave me cortisone shots. Researching the topic one day, I discovered your website and hesitantly ordered the patches… they work amazingly. There is such a difference when I wake up in the morning.

The fluid is drawn out and mobility is greatly improved. I will probably need surgery one day to repair torn cartilage in my knees, but these are greatly helping me with the swelling/fluid buildup like nothing else has before.

Thank you for developing such a wonderful product and for the prompt and efficient service. They are really helping me.

Elbow Bursitis

Hi,

Patches were amazing only needed 2 to get my very fluid swollen elbow to go significantly down.

This was after 3 weeks of no other solution so VERY VERY HAPPY.
