Doesn't work: Baker's cyst can not be treated with"fluid pills". Needs either surgery or rarely anti-inflammatory medications may help. Consult an orthopedist.

Lasix (furosemide): Furosemide (Lasix, Fusid or Fumex) is a diuretic that is used to treat edema & congestive heart failure. It will not be beneficial for healing of a ruptured Baker's Cyst.
