A Baker’s cyst is usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause your knee to produce too much fluid, which can lead to a Baker’s cyst.

A Baker’s cyst is a
fluid-filled cyst that
causes a bulge and a
feeling of tightness
behind your knee. The
pain can get worse
when you fully flex or
extend your knee or
when you’re active.

It is very important to
know that the Bakers
Cyst is an effect of an
underlying Condition. It
is not the primary
problem. So getting the
cyst drained or removed
without treating the
underlying condition will
just cause the Cyst to
reappear.

Although a Baker’s
cyst may cause
swelling and make
you uncomfortable,
treating the probable
underlying problem
usually provides
relief.
