Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 susan, I had a Baker's cyst last summer and know what you mean by severe pain. I didn't realise i had it until on my way home from a holiday with my youth group my leg and foot doubled in size. Had an emergency admittance to hospital 4 days later with a suspected blood clot. After a ultra sound i was told it was a Baker's cyst that had ruptured. A nursing friend of mine said it was unlikely i would get rid of these but on the pther hand said it wasn't definate i'd get one again. Not sure how much of this is true as i haven't had it confirmed by the hospital. Hope you soon get yours resolved - permanently.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 After multiple injections of cortisone and attempts to get the fluid out I had my Baker's Cyst removed in 99 when it caused my knee to lock up. This happened when I was driving so I wasn't going to have anymore fooling around! When I had the MRI the cyst was the size of an orange. They removed it, supposively tightened up the area that they fluid was collecting and haven't had it return. To my understanding though a good number of Baker's Cysts come back.

It feels a little better now. The knee is better and the swelling down but it still hurts in the calf where the fluid settled. I see the dr. again on Fri.
