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.

Bursitis in my Elbow

Attention Toky, Customer care.

Hi Toky, just to say we’ve ordered 20 more patches as the first lot really improved the Bursitis in my Elbow. It reduced the pain mainly, but although it seems full of fluid in the mornings the swelling has not reduced greatly.

Mind you it’s quite an art fitting them firmly to an elbow and still being able to move!

Regards

Baker's cyst

Wow’, I cannot begin to tell you how ‘Wonderful’ IT IS to finally have relief from such a painful ordeal!!

I have used the OSMO Patch just twice, perhaps because it ruptured, it didn’t take as long for continued treatment to be SOOOOO EFFECTIVE, I AM so thrilled!!

Please give Mr. Danniel Jacques a big hug and kiss for me, he made a 70-year-old lady very very happy, I am so Thankful there are people like him who first believe that there is an ‘ALTERNATIVE’, and we don’t have to rush into Surgery or cortisone shots…….God Bless Him!

Now I can get back to my golf game, again Thanks sooooo much

Baker's Cyst

Danniel Jacques has made the world a better place for those of us that end up with too much synovial fluid – thank you very much!!!

I had my first Bakers Cyst about 10 years ago and unfortunately the left over patches are a bit past the used by date to treat the one I developed Tuesday night at tennis. Can’t wait for my order to arrive.

My son is a Dr in London and I asked if he had had much to do with bakers Cysts and he said yes = crazy sportsman too who’s had far too many serious injuries. He said go and see the local sports med doc but I said I will be using OSMO Patches again.

Shoulder bursitis and tendentious

Eight years ago I had a work place accident and injured my left shoulder. After extensive physio & sports rehab the doctors advised me to get cortisone injections. Not only was this a painful procedure, it didn’t work! I proceeded to have physio treatment off and on for the next 8 years, taking anti inflammatory medication for longer than I should have & resigning myself to the fact that I would have restricted movement and pain in my shoulder for the rest of the foreseeable future.

I stumbled across OSMO Patches whilst searching the web and I thought ‘what have I got to loose…it’s the same price as a physio visit!’ Once I received the patches and started using them 3 days later I had nearly full range of movement back to my shoulder.

I was amazed at how well these patches actually work. I finished the 10 days of patches and for the first time in years I had no pain in my shoulder and full range of motion back to my shoulder. I haven’t been back to the physio for a year & my mum also has had relief in her knee.

These patches are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone.

Knee problems

Dear Toky,

Some time ago I corresponded with you and was duly sent 10 patches to try for bursitis of the knee. As I am a Carmelite Nun, our life is dedicated to prayer so kneeling is rather important!! I kept off the knee for a long time before trying the patches and found it helped to ease the condition, however, it still felt painful to kneel.

After using the first night, sure enough, there were signs fluid had been drawn off. The second night the same. The area became flat and normal. I have gingerly begun kneeling again with knee pads. However, I have noticed there is now no pain and the knee looks perfectly normal.

This was a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I would give it a good go to make sure before informing you of the patches’ success! So that is good news, and I am delighted.

I would also like to mention that your attitude to your customers is exemplary and obviously sincere. I am very grateful and will certainly recommend them.

Thanks, Every blessing

General Bursitis

Toky,

I am writing to you again because my husband wants to order additional patches.

He says that they are amazing for his severe leg cramps.

He sleeps through the night whereas before using the patches he would get up 3 or 4 times a night with cramping in his legs.
