Anyone know about treatment for a baker' cyst?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all - have had a baker's cyst behind outer edge of TKR knee for about 4 months and bit uncomfortable but no real trouble.but today it seemed to swell up and became really painful - in fact whole knee hurt! - so much so could hardly walk. Feel really fed up about this as going on holiday soon and want to be able to walk! And have been doing pretty well til now! Physios told me and also read they often resolve on their own in time. But what sort of time?? And is there any treatment for them? Know they can sometimes burst -but what happens then? Be so glad if anyone can help - just don't want to go back to Drs again!

too many of us patients!!! Had new hip in 2012. Only emergencies get seen. Also heard yesterday that the Oxford Score usedhere to rate severity of knee and hip pain is being used to determine whether a joint replacement is essential or elective. If the latter you are now being asked to pay for the op! Gone is UK policy of treatment free at the point of delivery?
