A member asked:
Bakers cyst, gp gave me antibiotics and signed me off work says it infected? do i need further investigation? could it be related to hypermobility ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely infectious: Very uncommon to have an infected baker's cyst. These cysts are due to a small leak from knee joint letting fluid escape to back of knee. If still symptomatic after 2 wks or worsening would recommend seeing an orthopedic surgeon.
