Does anyone have a Baker's Cyst after a TKR?
I had a Baker's Cyst prior to TKR. I am almost 15 months post op tkr and still feel the Baker's Cyst.
This is annoying as the knee gets tight.

Sometimes they resolve after TKR. But you should ask to have it aspirated, especially if it is making the knee tight. I don't have one on my knee though, mine is on my wrist. It might go away after aspiration but at least is wouldn't interfere with the desire to exercise.
I had a baker's cyst before the surgery and had hoped it would resolve itself after the surgery. I have developed a very tender area over the back of my TKR. It requires icing a couple of times a day. I have not gone back to my surgeon about it yet.
Mine mainly bothers me by end of the day. My knee gets tigher over the course of the day. I use my recumbent and elipitcal every morning.
