I was researching the following symptoms that I have, and this popped up! I have a baker s cyst behind each knee, continual pins and needles, and aching legs from my rear-end down to my foot. I m trying to figure out what might be wrong. Osteoarthritis perhaps? Thanks, Heather
Hello, As bakers cyst are formed in the popliteal fossa which contains the blood vessels and nerves passing from there this cyst may lead to malfunction in the vascular and nerve function.  We need to take up an MRI of the knee and see if the cyst is compromising the normal functions of the veins and blood vessels. If so an orthopedist opinion might be needed.  Physiotherapy plays a key role in the rehabilitation of the bakers' cyst. And sometimes with exercise, the cyst gets vanished on its own. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most bakers cyst patients have actually vanished the cyst from the region just with exercise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
