I took a hot bath to help my hip to knee stiffness. it improved, but enlarged my bakers cyst and caused more pain. how can i improve both besides taking diclofenac?

Are you going to an orthopedic surgeon? That would be my recommendation. Yes heat will help loosen the muscles to allow a mild stretch but by itself without a program you will not succeed on your own. The heat increase blood flow thus increase in size of cyst. More common people over 40 to develop a cyst but can be any age.
