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

Back in July I hurt my knee, and later formed a baker’s cyst…it got so bad that I could not bend my knee without a lot of pain.

I found your website and ordered a ten pack… used them, and in no time the swelling was down, but not gone. I could bend my knee and walk normal…something I have not done since July. I ordered your patches again… Because from the time I used my last patch, til I got my order, some of the swelling and stiffness came back… started using them again… and just like before the cyst is going down… without needles! Love that.

I just want to say thank you!, my knee is almost back to normal… the best thing I have ever used.

Achilles Enthesopathy

I used this patch from yesterday.

My first patch application was wonderful. I feel no pain and discomfort on my retrocalcaneal area.

After removal of patch I could see some fluid or discharges like a chocolate color discharge on my applied area.

Joint Pain

I used 4 patches last night for first time. I received them in the mail more than a week ago. How foolish of me not to open sooner.

My 1 night of patches and I wake up without pain. OMG! These are like magic.

Thank you so much.

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

General Bursitis

Dear Toky,

I finished my 2nd batch of patches a while ago now, and thought I would like to let you know that my bursitis and almost completely resolved! I think the little bit of fluid there is, is just being absorbed normally now.

So thank you very much for dealing with my query so quickly and politely. I am absolutely delighted with the progress of this thing, which could so easily have become chronic and untreatable.
I will certainly recommend the patches to anyone else I meet who has bursitis.

Yours sincerely,

Elbow bursitis

Thank you. Just to let you know, your product is supreme!

I’d been suffering with bursitis on my elbow for months, but now it’s totally healed in just two applications.

Thank you so much.

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

Baker's cyst

Hello!

I am writing to sing your praises! I am not kidding. I was first diagnosed with a Baker’s cyst approximately three months ago. The pain became increasingly intense, so I finally made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. He explained that the cyst was most likely the result from a torn meniscus and that I would require surgery. In the meantime, my patches I had ordered arrived, so I had used five patches by the time I returned to the orthopedic surgeon for the follow up for my MTI. He did NOT find a torn meniscus and was amazed at how much more range of motion I had in my knee. He agreed “whatever is working, keep it up!”

I am 62 years old, quite active, practice yoga and exercise daily. I am currently planning to swim with the dolphins with my grandchildren next month instead of planning surgery, physical therapy, etc. THANK YOU!!
