What can i do to easy the pain in my knee from bakers cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDs;,aspirate: Baker's cysts if painful can be aspirated ( carefully )by your ors. Sometimes the fluid is too thick to be aspirated . If u have an underlying knee problem causing the cyst ( meniscus tear, etc) then take care of the primary knee problem and often the cyst will dissipate w/ time.Rarely, an open cyst excision will be required for painful, recalcitrant cases.
