Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 A Baker's cyst is an inflammation of the synovial membrane and has nothing to do w/ blood flow or circulation. The only thing to do for a Baker's cyst is to wear only flat shoes and put ice on it and get off your feet until the swelling subsides. If it is not painful, it is not too harmful. The ice helps the pain and being off your feet will decrease the inflammation so that even though you have a swelling in the back of the knee, you can still lead a normal life.
