Baker’s Cyst Pain Relief | Dr. Schnee’s Knee Treatment Dallas, TX

If there is a pre-existing meniscus tear or if there is arthritis in the knee joint, and the joint get irritated or injured in some way then the knee may produce excess fluid.  If the knee produces more fluid then it can get rid of, and that fluid fills the bursa or sac in the back of the knee the condition is called a baker’s cyst.  A baker’s cyst or popliteal cyst is when synovial fluid (joint fluid) accumulates in the back of the knee.

Signs and Symptoms:

If a baker’s cyst is small in size it may go unnoticed, but as it grows it becomes more symptomatic.  A baker’s cyst can get so large that it looks like a ‘tumor’ in the back of the knee, and oftentimes patient’s mistaken it for a blood clot. 

Patients with a baker’s cyst will often complain of pain, tightness, and swelling in the back of the knee. The pain may become more severe at night and when the knee is in a bent or in an extended position.  Patients may also experience pain in the back of the leg. 

Knee Treatment:

Aspirating the fluid from a baker’s cyst is unproductive because the fluid will return.  Surgery is never recommended for removing a baker’s cyst since it is a secondary reaction to arthritis or a meniscus tear in the knee joint.  Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program™ has clinically shown remarkable improvements in helping patients experience knee pain relief diagnosed with a baker’s cyst.

Mr. W shows off his medal!

 “My biggest issue was stiffness and pain behind the knee (Baker’s Cyst).  As a runner my knee was sore and stiff when I started to run.  But both of those issues reduced after I got further into my run BUT after my run I would have pain and stiffness again.  Steps were very difficult, bending, and kneeling was also difficult.  I had arthroscopic on this same knee 2 years ago.  I didn’t even consider surgery this time as an option, and I was looking for an alternative knee treatment to surgery.  I found Dr. Schnee by reading about her knee program on the Internet.  I am extremely pleased with this knee treatment. I would and have recommended it to others, not only for knees but other issues.  Dr. Schnee and the entire staff are awesome! I really appreciate Dr. Schnee’s willingness to work with me in my desire to continue to run.”  M.W., Fort Worth, Texas

After completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program ™ the following patient was able to sleep through the night without pain in the back of her knee.

Finally- Pain in back of the knee relieved!!

“The pain in back of my left knee was constant.  Even when lying with my leg propped up it was throbbing.  This caused me to have knee pain at night and difficulty sleeping.  It was just wearing me out physically and mentally.

I could not walk for any great distance without stopping to rest and when getting up from a chair I had to stand before I could take a step because my knee would lock.  I had been to my primary care physician and she sent me for an ultrasound, then referred me to an orthopedic who sent me for an MRI, then she sent me back to my primary care physician…I was using pain medication twice a day, rubbing my knee and leg with all kinds of knee pain medication.  I was also using the stick on patches that are supposed to give you relief- all in vain. 

After starting Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I had some relief after my very first cold laser treatment.  Cold laser therapy solved the majority of the swelling in my knee and leg.  I’m not back to walking on the treadmill or using my elliptical but other than that I’m back to normal.  When I stretch out at night I thank God that the knee pain is gone and I’m able to sleep.  I get up, get dressed and go off to work with a great attitude and pain free.

Dr. Schnee and her great staff were professional, caring and welcoming.  It was a very positive experience for me.  She warned me that 100% recovery might not be possible but we would try for 90-95% improvement and I am confident that I am 90% improved.  I have NO pain except if I over extend myself and I have very little swelling.  It was a very positive experience.” B. D., Euless, Texas
