Good evening @durelle and @hmccarth5. The Baker's cyst is only there because of a condition that needs attention in the knee. The first thing that your clinician will do is drain it. That works for a little while and then it will come back until the underlying condition is surgically removed. I had quite a large one before my second TKR last summer. And then, I never saw it or felt it again.

If you want to try to control yours, you might try what I did while waiting for surgery. I asked my MFR therapist to keep it small enough to not cause pain and discomfort. She was able to do that and even taught me how to move the fluid up my thigh so that it could leave when I urinated.

Good luck with getting rid of it. Has any one else had their Baker's Cyst treated in another way?

May you be safe, protected, free of inner and outer harm.
Chris
