Draining a Baker’s Cyst is a fast option for relieving the pain and discomfort in the back of your knee.
Draining a Baker’s Cyst is a fast option for relieving the pain and discomfort in the back of your knee. The following is a video of a medical doctor draining a Baker’s Cyst from the back of a man’s left leg.
Be prepared! This is not for queasy stomachs
Remember this in only one solution for draining a Baker’s Cyst from the back of your leg. There are other natural approaches that don’t involve drugs or needles for draining a Baker’s Cyst from the back of your leg.
It’s important to understand that your body has the capacity for draining the Baker’s Cyst on it’s own. If your body is NOT doing so then we must start asking deeper questions as to why the Baker’s Cyst is not draining by itself.
The majority of the time it’s due to tension that builds up in the leg which doesn’t allow for the lymphatic fluid to move freely throughout the body. By freeing up this tension in back of the leg this starts the process by which your body can drain the Baker’s Cyst by itself without any medical intervention.

I have a bakers cyst that very large and the doctors only want to operate. They don’t want to give you hyaluronic shots–just want to do surgery. I don’t want surgery if possible. I fell on this knee in february1967 and it bled very little, and it didn’t start giving me problem until a few years ago. Can you suggest something for me to do?
Hi Annie Yes, absolutely. First we need to get the pressure off the tension pattern contributing to the Baker’s Cyst. This will begin relieving the pain/discomfort of the cyst. Next, we’ll need to get a better relationship of the bones in the leg to make it easier to bend the knee and then lastly, we’ll need to address the tension in the pelvis to help it move easier so the body is able to drain the baker’s cyst on it’s own… This is a customized program I offer online to member’s of my online “Knee Club” program: https://www.thekneepainguru.com/pain-elimination-products/ Begin working… Read more »
should I continue with euflexxa injections if the baker’s cyst has ruptured and the knee is swollen
Hi Jim
That type of question is best addressed by your doctor. I’d be able to help you reduce swelling and pain in the knee without the drugs. Let me know if you’d like some support as I work with all of my clients remotely.

I wonder whether knee bandages are a cause of the cyst?
Geoff
I’d imagine it would depend on the type of bandages you’re referring to and/or the length of time you’d have those bandages on. What’s more important to look at is the tension patterns held in the knee, leg, hips and lower back restricting lymph flow in the knee creating the conditions for the baker’s cyst to form.
Let me know if this clears things up for you and/or you’d like more support with your knee so we can get you help.

I have had a bakers cyst behind my left knee 3 times now and I’m scheduled to have it done a 4th time. Is there another option or do I have to have it done every 6-8 weeks forever
Hi Janice

Where may I find the info you state to naturally drain a bakers cyst
R co…All the information is contained in the Knee Club program. Here’s the link: https://www.thekneepainguru.com/lp/knee-club-2020/
I have had about five Bakers Cyst in a ten year span. They always pop on their own then cause pain and a lot of swelling in the half for three days whilst the fluid is absorbed into my body. The first time I went to the ER and had an ultrasound and saw the bakers cyst . For me it is due to my rheumatoid arthritis which I have had for ten years. The only thing I have found to relieve my RA is eating a Lowfat Raw Vegan diet, I have fish weekly for b12. It helps reduce… Read more »
I have a recurring cyst that has been drained through an operation a little over a year ago. Within 6 weeks I had two ultrasound guided aspirations with cortisone injected inside the cyst with the hopes it would dry it up. I’ve had 2 of 3 Sinvisc injections( it got more painful and swollen with each injection so I skipped the third). 6 months later I had two more aspirations within 12 days of each other; one ultrasound guided no cortisone, cyst came back within 24hrs. Had another one in Dr.s office with cortisone. It seemed to get rid of… Read more »
Hi Suz,
I see you’re on the newsletter list. There’s a Special New Year’s Offer going out today and tomorrow that will get you started on the path to allow the Baker’s Cyst to drain on it’s own.
Look for those emails and I look forward to working with you next week.

I have a bakers cyst on the back of my leg and have done for some time. I have also got arthritis in the knee.
The doctors will not drain the cyst but it is causing discomfort.
Is it safe to drain it myself at home?
I currently have a Baker’s Cyst in my right knee. It has been there going on 10 months now. I do hardwood flooring so I can’t take it easy on my knee. I have insurance with Kaiser Permanente, and have gone in several times to get help, but they keep telling me they can’t drain it because of arteries and stuff in the back of my knee. Videos like this make it seem easy. Is there credibility to what they are telling me?
Yep…You just have to do the work daily, initially.
I’d point you towards my group coaching program to get the level of support it sounds like you’re needing.

I am no MD, but my cursory understanding is that synovial fluid is produced by the cells in joint lining, the synovial membrane, and secreted into the joint cavity to increase the viscosity and elasticity of articular cartilages and to lubricate the surfaces between synovium and cartilage, and to remove debris via phagocytosis cells.
I don’t know that improving lymphatic flow *wouldn’t* help, I’m just pretty sure that the fluids are separate. So I’m wondering how your program works?
In the context of fluid build up in the body…In order for the body to be able to clean itself out the lymphatic system needs to be free of restrictions (aka baker’s cyst) and in the pelvis (the pump of the entire lymphatic system.) It also must have the right conditions to flush itself out (proper hydration) as well as reduction of inflammation through diet. It’s a simple straightforward process of creating comfort in the knee moving the nervous system to a parasympathetic state allowing for the body to optimize its self-healing capacity.
But it’s not lymphatic fluid in a Bakers cyst; it’s joint/synovial fluid, so I’m confused about your whole premise…
Sarah
Through what system in the body does the joint/synovial fluid move?
Bill
I had left tot knee replacement 4 months ago, and was told the bakers cyst would resolve on own once the problem has been corrected.
My pain is from my bakers cyst, tried nsaids, compression hose, pt, exercise, rest, ice, elevation etc. still no improvement.
Would your program be able to help me.
I’ve had a bakers cyst for three years, finally went to have it drained and it wouldn’t drain. I’m not sure of what to think about this?
Chandra I just wrote this email regarding swelling…The same applies to your Baker’s Cyst… Does your knee swell up? Does fluid build up in your knee? Has your knee been drained with needles? Here’s a common issue I hear from knee pain sufferers… Andy wrote in to ask me about his knee: The doctor drained fluid from my right knee joint…its creating pressure on nerves while sitting… what to do? I had this issue after my own surgery back in ’99… My left knee felt uncomfortable, swollen, lots of pressure and difficult to bend my leg. Of course, the doctor’s… Read more »
I’m having a bakers cyst drained soon,i work in a kitchen, what is the recovery time here?! Thank you
What did your doctor say about recovery time?
Bill
She hasn’t seen me yet, not till tues next week. For its super sore and painful after working 9 hrs in a kitchen. I got a brace but it throbbing bye time i take it off at home. Sje gave me 800mg of Tylenol not really helping much here.
What can i expect when they drain this?!
I work with clients to help them teach their body how to get rid of the baker’s cyst on it’s own. Many times baker’s cysts return after being drained because the underlying pattern causing the cyst to form is not being addressed…
All the questions you’re asking me needs to be directed to your doctor…
Good luck on Tuesday!
Ok thank you ill keep u posted how i made out tues
I had one after tkr that was hiding, undetected.
Popped on it’s own…. Extreme swelling causing discoloration in leg. High pain tolorance so didn’t realize until after the fact. Tremendous relief now!
