What is a Baker’s Cyst?

A Baker’s Cyst is a painful condition which results in swelling at the back of the knee.

This swelling occurs due to inflammation in the synovial joint which encapsulates the knee.

This leads to an out-pouching of fluid into a little balloon type sac extending from the synovial lining which encases the knee joint.

As the fluid collects it bulges behind the knee resulting in the formation of a Baker’s Cyst.

If left untreated it is possible for a Baker’s Cyst to rupture.

A ruptured Baker’s Cyst usually causes Pain & Discomfort as fluid travels down the calf muscles and into the ankle.

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,

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

Bursa in elbow

Thank you so much for your attention and immediate response to my e-mail.

About 9 months ago I slipped on a ladder and banged my elbow which resulted in a bursa sac; This was the first time ever, but about two months ago it happened again. Your patches worked great both times. They significantly reduced my recovery time.

Thanks again!

Baker's Cyst

Hi,

I have used the OSMO Patch in the past for my bakers cyst.

I was very successful with it and I have referred it to others.

General Bursitis

Dear Toky I have used the 10 patches and I have felt significant improvement, albeit not a total cure at this point. But, the Radiologist did tell me my bursitis was as bad as the man who came off a motorbike and his is the worst case they have seen. Please note I have shared […]

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 […]

Knee Baker's Cysts and Meniscus tears

I’ve had knee problems for 3 decades and have had 4 surgeries due to an ACL tear and numerous Meniscus tears. Due to these problems, I’ve had a chronic problem with a Baker’s Cyst which I’ve been living with for years and the swelling has kept me in constant pain.

I definitely recommend the OSMO patches. They have given me substantial relief from the pain that I was experiencing. I’ve recommended the patches my Physical Therapist and he’s recommended them to his patients. I’ve also recommended the patches to my Surgeon and he is now recommending the patches in lieu of injections.

Hi Toky The patches work so well. I will have to keep these ones for myself.  I have been convincing others of their worth. Many, many thanks
