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

Hello,

I have used your patches for my baker’s cyst. I started a while back, stopped, and found the cyst increased in size.

I have now been using it again for 1 week and the discomfort of it is considerably reduced.

The patches give such good relief

Shoulder bursa

Thanks Toky.

Last lot sure made a difference.  I was able to not be awakened by an aching bursa during the night.  One night before; was so bad that I had to sit in a lounge chair and ice my shoulder regularly through the night.

Told the doctor about the patches and twice have worn one into his surgery  Was he interested?  You would think so being a medical man.  Nope: not in the slightest.  All he said was “does it work?”  To which I replied sure does!!!

So I am out of thee after a bit of tidying up…………..surely there must be a “doctor” for want of a better word in southern  New Zealand who has a wee bit of compassion and a wee bit of lateral thinking and is not mesmerised by the billion dollar drug companies.?

Regards,

Hip problems

Hi,

I had a sore hip muscle at the back of my hip. The Dr. said we will drain the fluid out then give you a Cortisone shot. I said no way my hip was so sore it was painful sitting and going up stairs.

I ordered your patches and the first night they came I applied it, the next morning the powder was hard, I guess from being wet. As soon as I stood on it, no PAIN, I woke up my wife and said it works.

It is still a little sore, when you sit. But it’s 99% better.

Baker's cyst

Hi, just a quick note that I feel I needed to write about the OSMO Patches. In September I tripped over while running and fell on my knee which left me with a fractured bone at the back of my knee which in turn ruptured my cruciate ligament. Although back on track now after various braces, crutches and hydrotherapy plus physiotherapy, it seemed I had gained a cyst at the back of my knee. This tight swelling really hindered my ability to improve and I looked to the internet for answers-where I found your advert

Although I had never heard of your product and neither had my physiotherapist, I decided to give them a try as they wouldn’t hurt even if they didn’t help. The day I woke up after the first patch I was really surprised. I didn’t say anything to my husband because I didn’t want to jinx the feeling I had! The tightness had lessened dramatically which meant I could walk as soon as I got up, not the usual stretch and wait for it to get going!! My physio noticed a difference the next visit as it was the first time I could get my leg flat and flex my foot slightly. The reduction in swelling and tightness was brilliant. Although I have only used two my leg has improved so much and it helps that I can exercise properly to strengthen my muscles.

Thanks for your help I am no longer sceptical about the patches-will be ordering more in the future!

Fluid on knees

Hi,

We have purchased your patches for application on my husband’s knee.

It certainly drained some fluid from his knees, giving some relief after one application.

Thanks!
