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

Hi Toky,

I am amazed at how fast this patch worked! I felt relief the very next morning, all the stiffness having gone and I was able to walk up and down the stairs much more easily.

Thank you so much for all your cooperation in sending a second package. Since I have so many patches now, I am going to spread the word around for you by photocopying the instructions and giving the patch to people with bursitis. My physiotherapist and massage therapist will be one of them.

Thank you once again.

Forever indebted!

Used it last night and it is already helping with the pain quite a bit!

Thank you so much for your considerate responses.

Ankle (Achilles Bursitis)

About 2 years ago I developed bursitis on my right ankle which was extremely painful. I tried traditional physio, ultrasound, laser, and stretching to no avail.

I discovered the OSMO Patch website and decided to keep an open mind and try the OSMO Patch.

After all those months of continuous pain, much to my surprise, I experienced a significant improvement such that I can now walk several kilometers, and am not in constant pain all day long! I have now ordered a 3rd set of Patches, and am sure these will end the problem entirely.

Joint Pain

These are honestly the best pain patches of them all.

I have tried 4 other brands before finding the OSMO Patch. They don’t get rid of the pain, but they certainly make things bearable.

Thank you

Shoulder Bursitis

Hi there,

I have worn the patch for 2 months and it has drained the fluid out of shoulder and reduced the pain significantly.

Thanks Steve

Baker's cyst

Thank you for responding.

I think I will save my last two patches in case I need them. Right now, I have such great improvement, I am no longer wearing the knee brace and I can walk up and down stairs with alternating feet.

Have not done that for a while!

Thanks again,
