Baker’s or popliteal cyst

Posted by ellerbracke @ellerbracke, Oct 11, 2019

Is it possible to develop a baker’s cyst overnight, for nor obvious reason? I woke up this morning with a small lump in back of my knee where there usually is a depression between the tendons. I does not really hurt very much, but it makes it harder to straighten the knee. I did not do anything unusual or especially strenuous yesterday, nor did I hurt or twist my knee in any way.

Thank you, I did have a set back which caused a lot of pain and my lower spine flared up. I did restart my knee exercises from PT. And have been right on it. My PT SAID NOT TO STAY UP FOR MORE THEN 15 minutes at a time. So I do my exercises then go for a 7 minute walk out & 7 minutes back. Then I ice and sit or lay down for 1/2 hr or hour. So far it seems to be working. I don’t irritated as much with 15 minutes rain hour so a day so I think I come up on eight weeks in June sometime so like Colleen I’m hoping that it works out that everything‘s better by eight weeks. I’m glad you’re doing well. I know some people don’t have a problem with that but some people really have a lot of pain and this site really has helped me and encouraged me.
Don’t know if you’re a mother, but if you are happy Mother’s Day, I hope you enjoy your day
