What causes a Baker’s Cyst?

A Baker’s Cyst is a swelling in the back of the knee caused by the build-up of fluid inside a small sac called a bursa.

Baker’s Cysts are actually quite common. They can be caused by nearly any joint-related injury.

There are several common causes that may result in the formation of a Baker’s Cyst.

Such as a micro tear in the knee’s meniscal cartilage.
A repetitive stress injury.
Wear & tear in the knee, which occurs as we age.
An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. Known as an ACL injury.
A sports-related injury that affects the knee.

The type of work that a person does may also make them more susceptible to developing a Baker’s Cyst.

Think about jobs that involve being on your knees, such as a gardener or carpenter.

Jobs that require long shifts without sitting or that place unusual weight loading through the knees, such as nursing, may be the cause of a Baker’s Cyst.

For essential advice to avoid further injury and great tips on how to naturally reduce swelling & pain due to a Baker’s cyst, be sure to explore our website as well as the rest of this video series.

Baker's cyst on the back of knee

Thank you, this is my second round of patches.

First, I had a baker’s cyst on the back of my knee, used 6 patches, pain and cyst GONE!

Have had no problems since. So, I gave the rest to a friend. He said his went away but only used 4, so wants to try more, and I have had something come up on my wrist, going to try patches. Will see what happens.

I’ve been treating my cyst with OSMO Patches for six nights now and the improvement in my condition is fantastic.

It should be all gone after I finish the packet….

Fluid collected around my knee

These have been a god send….

I never actually ended up using them on a baker’s Cyst but rather on the fluid that had collected around my knee due to osteoarthritis.

What an amazing product! How do I order more?

Thank you,

Elbow bursitis

Great product!

I have to admit when I first applied the patch I was a bit skeptical, but after the first application the swelling in my elbow was greatly reduced and after about six applications the swelling was completely gone!

I have been free of bursitis for several months!

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

General Bursitis

Hi Toky,

I wish to say that I have found the patches to be a great benefit to me and have had more relief from them that I have had with any other treatment including 4 cortisone injections.

You are quite welcome to give my testimony to any prospective user and, if necessary, they can phone me personally on XXXXXXXXX.

Thanking you once again
