Bakers Cysts, Lacrimal Caruncle Spots

I don't recall if I've discussed this out here before. Forgive me if I have.

I have still not been diagnosed with PMR but I seem to be a poster child for it. Looking for another rheum now. Though, at this point, I'll take a well-reputed witch doctor if they have time and knowledge to give me. Out of pocket.

Back when I had my first symptoms, it was about a month+ after my 3rd or so covid booster. Is there a connection? Who knows?
Just thought I'd mention it.

The first symptoms seemed to be sore thighs (incl quads, hams, groin, adductors, abductors) which I fully attributed to over exercising. Which I was and focusing on the thigh area for strengthening and saving my knees.

I saw a sports medicine "doctor" who immediately sent me for a hip x-ray and didn't see much arth. Then straight to PT where I felt like I'd been through a beating each time. So I quit.

Before the PT, my mildly injured rotator cuff had seemed worse and the left one was becoming a bit bothersome. After PT, they both became very PMR-like.

As time went by, pain and stiffness worse. It seemed when I rose from a chair, I was actually stiff and shaky! ME!!! I could NOT believe this. Then I realized the backs of my knees were killing me. Found out I had Baker's cysts for which treatment is short-term at best. Great. In a few weeks, my kneecaps began to hurt too. Somedays are ok, some are beyond painful. Life is not fun when the body hurts from top to bottom.

I also noticed in my lacrimal caruncles (inner corners of my eyes) a bunch of yellow-ish-white spots which had developed mixed with the normal pink background. I was shocked.
Saw an ophthalmologist and asked my rheum to also look. Neither were fazed. But I am...I'm convinced there's a connection. I have an appt with a neuro-ophthal in a few months. But hopefully I can get in sooner...I don't hold out much hope tho.

I don't understand this Baker's Cyst thing. No treatment? You just live with this, hoping it will drain?

I'm really just discouraged and frustrated along with the pain. I want a diagnosis. I can't take steroids, so I don't want someone who needs to get with their next patient to tell me I have PMR when they don't really know nor do I want them to deny it because they don't want to help me find other medications or methods that could help with this.

I appreciate any feedback to all this. And thank you for reading if you've come this far. I've read, researched, talked to people on forums, etc, till my head is splitting.
