In this episode the surgeons discuss the popliteal cyst, aka Baker cyst, aka the bump behind your knee. They discuss the cause of Baker cysts and how to treat them. Mainstay of treatment is to treat the underlying cause. If excised or drained they usually come back unless you treat the cause of the cyst. They are benign and can often be ignored.

I went to the doctor today for my left knee. She said it was Baker's knee. First time hearing of it. I'm currently in pt for my right knee. I hurt my foot back in April. I'm a runner and I haven't been able to run since April and now a new injury. Another setback!! Praying I'll be ready to run the Army ten miler in October. She put me in a brace and instructed me to take Ibuprofen 800 and ice it front and back. I'm kind of venting. 🙏🤞

I went to an orthopedic doctor & he gave me a shot of cortisone in my knee. Symptoms were pain swelling mri, said I had 2 tares in my meniscus &a leaking baker's cyst. He then said I will have to have cortisone shots every 6 mos. for 2 yrs.! Then have knee replacement! I'm 66, I wanted to go back to school & become a phlebotomist that's out. Even holding a part time job in a doctor's office. We had slymby but with my SS check of $317/ mo. took away all of our coverage & assistance which both of us worked all our lives. My husband had hip perthes as a child & spent 3 years with his foot lifted up his back. They told him he'd have chronic arthritis at 40 or so & it would only get worse, it was at that time I stopped working because he had only to sit in his truck as the foreman but I, in retail worked harder for half the amount. I worked too hard. I had women come over to me & say I was making them look bad. I was born at a time when women were fighting for equal rights and I was all for it. But I thought of physical too! So I ended up as 22, a cart collector & bagger. I pushed as many carts as I possibly could & banged them with my hips! After a few months of this I awoke with a bed filled with blood! I also awoke nights screaming in agony in my shoulders that was more painful than I could ever be specific but I hadn't any health insurance I just had to stay home & take it. I eventually found out I damaged my uterus & would have to lay in bed in order to keep from losing my baby. Oh I would get pregnant but I'd lose it & we couldn't afford for me to have just 1 child. My husband had outdoor work and was laid off every year around Thanksgiving/Christmas so we would never have even 1 child. My husband refuses to believe any of this for reasons I won't go into. But my point is that here I am again laid up with a double torn meniscus & no doctor to treat me. They used to repair the meniscus, scrape off the arthritis/ remove the baker's cyst but now I am bed ridden, gaining weight which will lead to diabetes no doubt, no exercise. I have gained 34lbs. even though I do 35-50 sit-ups every other day but what else can I do? If there's anyone out there who can help please get in touch.

My chiropractor diagnosed my Bakers cyst....so i googled it and found out that there is not much to do about it. I ignored it best I could until one day, months later it ruptured. Since i had read what to expect i wasn't concerned but, oh my it hurt like hell. Also i could feel the fluid running down the inside of my leg under the skin. A very odd feeling...thought i peed myself at first. The cyst has not returned. Apparently i was one of the blessed ones and not have to live with that terrible pain for years.

My left knee has been checked for bakers cyst but is not there. That’s great! The front of the knee swells up, and if I’ve been walking/standing for a few hours, I end up in a lot of pain. The swelling will increase a lot and my leg from the top of the knee right down into my foot will be swollen. I’ve had about 5 or 6 falls onto that knee on concrete. Have had physic a number of times and will get the feeling of pressure in the back of the knee. I don’t know if that’s all part of the inflammation or not. I’m 68 and arthritis wasn’t showing a few years ago when I last had xrays of that knee. Guess it’s all part of aging that my knee still bothers me after 10 yrs. thanks for your videos. They’re always interesting. 😊🇨🇦

@@TalkingWithDocs I ended up in ER (as instructed by a Dr through nurses hotline) a couple of weekends ago as I had severe pain in the full length of the back of my left leg. When I described the pain as going straight up the center of the leg without redness anywhere, the Dr thought there might be a blood clot in a vein. Said to get to ER right away. I went to the hospital and spent bout 6 hours there. They couldn’t do an ultrasound as they don’t do ultrasounds t night. So the next morning I was sent to an ultrasound clinic. Thrilled to say, no clot! We have no idea what the pain is and sometimes it travels to the top of my foot just below the toes. I do have Vascular disease in the right leg but not sure about the left leg. Also type 2 diabetes, so could be neuropathy? (I’m falling apart! 🤣😉)

Mine ruptured yesterday and I was at work. Actually worked through it my last couple hours and after work drive strait to the hospital in tears thinking it was a blood clot. I was historical by the time I got to the ER!!!! They did blood clot blood panel and after a few hours did ultrasound of my leg and veins. I was so hysterical that a paramedic walked by and ended up staying at the hospital with me. Turns out to be a bakers cyst that ruptured. I have never seen my leg in such a shape. My leg actually bruised from the swelling. For past 2 days I've been elevating my leg and I bought some support stockings and a knee brace. Work tomorrow and I'm not sure if I can do it. My job requires me to walk for 12 hours

Great info doctors. I've just noticed my inside right calf (gastrocnemius) has grown at least an inch. Over the past 6 months i've been going on walks for maybe 20 extra miles per week, and I've been doing the stair masters at the gym. I've also done one legged calf raises while doing the stair master. My left leg has not seen any hypertrophy or muscle growth. Also, my left leg has also been through achilles tendon surgery maybe 8 years ago so I'm not sure it would be affect the the left legs strength speed unlike the right leg. I've also noticed that during the body weight calf raises, my left does not sustain the flex as well as the right leg which is bigger. I did not expect such increase in muscle gain from doing any body weight exercise. Do you think my calf muscle increase in the gastrocnemius is from exercises? It feels firm and looks normal, but I just don't like the bulky look of it and was not expecting the increase of muscle if so.

I've had a baker's cyst for 24 yrs believe it or not. The first time I had my knee brained was in 1998. A couple of yrs later I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. The baker cyst would come and go but in 2020 it got really worse. I've known for 18 years that I was going to need a knee replacement, well in 2024 I had my TKR. And the baker cyst is the worst it has ever been. It's hard for me to exercise with the new replacement. I can't walk and I can't sit !!!! What do you do in this situation??? If I don't exercise I won't get my range emotion back. I have tried exercising and stretching, ice and rubbing the back of my knee. This is much worse than it was before I had the surgery. They won't do anything for 6 months!! How do you get your range emotion when your in so much pain and NO i will not take pain medication. I was a drug addict before for almost 20 yrs and I refuse to take it. Ibprofen can damage your stomach. I'm a medical advocate and I know the research and studies on the body and medication. We need natural remedies for once!!! What would you do????

I’m a brand new subscriber and wanted more info on these cysts which is how I found your channel. I have huge knots on both legs and whatever it is, it’s very painful. The 1st is behind my right knee and my Dr sent me for an ultrasound because she was worried about DVT. Luckily, there was no blood clot. Several weeks later I now have excruciating pain behind both knees and there’s what feels like a huge muscle knotted up. I can’t even walk my dog anymore, much less exercise. I have several other health issues, one example is major vitamin deficiencies. I’m tired and hurting ALL THE TIME!!! On ice every chance I get. I’m pretty sure arthritis is causing it. Do you guys have any tips or any treatments I could discuss with my physician that could help my quality of life in regards to my knees and the pain? Oh, and I’m 46 trapped in a 96 year old body!!! ☹️

Hi crissy. The advice we can give is pretty generic. Stay active. Try to take advantage of the expertise of a physiotherapist. Something for pain. Ice. Stretching. Compression stockings if you can tolerate them. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.

Thanks to you guys I asked all of these questions (draining, injection, etc) but ultimately had a "semimembranosus ganglion cyst" surgically removed last week. Along with a scope to check out an acl tear. I have full trust and respect for the surgeon (finally) but don't these things come back if the source, so to speak, isn't addressed? The recovery isn't so sweet and to go through it over and over seems daunting!

I have mentioned this before on one of the other videos and thank you for answering the question I asked. I don't have a Baker cyst but I do have a ganglion cyst on the outside of my LTKR. I noticed it about three months PO. What would cause it? I told you that my surgeon decided to leave it alone and you responded that you agreed but what would cause it? I'm now a year PO and it's still there. Don't think it's growing now but it has grown since the first time I noticed it. Can't keep from worrying about it a little.

I developed a baker cyst due to arthritis and took some strong pain medications that have lots of side effects. The doctors did not want to empty it saying it wouldn’t help and could come back. After I insisted finally it took 3 s to do so and it changed my life. I still have the arthritis pain when moving but no more night pains and still pains. It never came back. On the other leg it comes back regularly but I always have it emptied. So much better than medications

Thank you for this explanation re Baker's Cyst. I had a TKR recently and within a month had pain in back of leg. Ultrasound ruled out DVT but did show Bakers cyst. I suspect I may have had it pre TKR as it doesn't sound likely or possible following TKR? If it is a one way valve, does the synovial fluid just reabsorb into the lympathic system or is it there forever? I hope not. Thank you,

I get very frustrated about this situation because I feel that doctors kind of treat it as though it's a little mole, don't worry about it. Unless you're dealing with one, I don't think they realize how painful they can be. I'm still not sure if I want to get a Tkr because I've heard so many horror stories about long, painful & imperfect recoveries. I'm a very healthy 74 yr old with a very old repaired knee injury that isn't quite as bad as the Baker Cyst now is. So, while I have some bone on bone issues that come and go, the Cyst is the worst of pain when it swells up. Yet, doctors locally don't want to touch it. It's truly a conundrum. 🫤😑 🏖 Kj in Tampa Bay 😮‍💨
