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!

Trochanteric Bursitis

Hello Jordan,

Thank you for your informative reply, I shall take notice of the hints and tips in your e-mail and will apply them during the treatment of my wife’s Trochanteric Bursitis.

It may interest you to know of the progress with the OSMO patches. Days 1 to 4 a small reduction in the swelling in the thigh. Days 4 to 7 a further reduction in swelling but no reduction in pain. Days 8 to 9 swelling almost gone and a big reduction in pain. We now await delivery of our second box of patches and hope the improvement continues.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hip Bursitis

Thank you so much for your reply,

My delayed response is also due to our holiday which, thanks to OSMO patch, was more comfortable!

I have recommended the use of these patches to several of my associates as I am very happy with the results.

Baker's cyst

Dear Sir or Madam:

I purchased the OSMO patch several weeks ago and just started using them 4 days ago for my Bakers Cyst behind my knee.

I must admit I was very skeptical but I have noticed a change and less swelling in the area behind my knee.

Thank you

Elbow bursitis

My elbow and shoulder were both injured at the same time, which were attended to by a highly respected orthopaedic physician.

After treatment, my shoulder fully recovered but the bursitis continued in full bloom. My doctor did not suggest draining it because the bursitis would likely return. After 7 weeks of no relief I researched the Internet for answers. That is when I discovered your product. On applying your patch to my elbow for 3 days the bursitis disappeared.

Simply amazing. Thank you!

Hi,

I just send you another order of patches.

It helps me a lot especially to sleep because I am always in pain with my bakers’cyst so I do not want to run out of patches.

Thank You

Hi,

The Osmo patch definitely helps my baker’s cyst (behind my left knee)!

It is temporary, but the relief is enormous!

I use it every few weeks and the swelling and discomfort abate greatly!

Thank you
