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

Hello Danniel,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I started using the patches about 10 days ago, and the amount of improvement is unbelievable. The lump was rock hard, and I could not bend the knee, nor straighten the leg. Even though there is still some swelling, the knee feels almost normal. I have run out of the patches, so will restart as soon as I receive the new batch…hopefully it will all go away.

Thank you for your help, and good luck..

Baker's cyst

Hello!

I wanted to write to let you know that I truly feel that a combination of your OSMO patches and infrared laser treatments on my knee have nearly cured my knee. I had a probable torn meniscus, and had developed a baker’s cyst behind the knee from the injury.

I am a very active 52 year old female who plays softball and ice hockey. I work full time as a middle school teacher also. I am currently training for the 3 day, 60 mile Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure for Breast Cancer. I rarely am sitting down. I ordered 10 of your patches and have used 9 over the last 3 months. I hadn’t had any swelling return until today.

I am confidently placing another order, because your patches truly do work. Thank you! I can’t wait to get my next order!

Knee problems

Hi Toky

Thank you so much for the patches, I have been putting up with pain for months since a fall. I have used them on my knees the last two nights, what a difference, I cannot believe it… Lucky timing my Dr was lining me up for some cortisone needles. What an amazing product.

You will definitely be hearing from me again

Kindest regards

General Bursitis

Thank you very much.

I used the patches from a previous order for 10 days and they helped a lot.

I am hoping that by continuing to use them, my condition with bursitis will be completely cleared up.

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
