One should never, ever put everything down to PMR or Pred. Just ask yourself what you would have done with having PMR?

When the cyst ruptured, my calf swelled up, I had to have a doppler scan done to rule out a blood clot (negative). I then had to wear an elastic stocking (which I was unable to put on myself, due to the sudden ACUTE PMR symptoms I developed. My husband helped me put it on and I also took all kinds of NSAIDS: Naproxen, Aspirin, Ibuprofen: I took them all and they gave me a bleeding stomach and anemia.
What helped the cyst was a Steroid injection into the joint.
And by the way, the Bakers Cyst can come back over and over again. If it causes problems, get another steroid shot.
Several months later, the PMR was diagnosed and I started 20 mg Prednisone: no PMR pain. The cyst comes and goes, but no problems with it. Now on 5 mg- 20 months later still OK, just fatigue.
Good luck!! A good orthopedist should be able to diagnose the Bakers Cyst.
Thank God for Steroids.
My PMR needed 20 mg Prednosone
