Ruptured Baker's cyst.

I gave up squash when about 28......too hard on the bod.....

I have heard heroin is pretty soothing....maybe risky !

Squash is a hard sport on the joints TL and I'm no spring chicken anymore. I'll have to knock it on the head especially after this bad injury which is going to take a very long time to get over.

I had same thing Slippy so I know how painful it is - I used to do a lot of running. Naproxen does work, you just need to give it a bit of time.  I'm OK now. I also had a cortisone injection in my knee which worked wonders.  I felt really down after a while but read side effects of Naproxen, one of which was feeling depressed.
Hope you feel better soon. Trust me the tablets will work. Another tip is don't stop taking the tablets  when you start to feel better or the pain will come back. I think I was on them for best part of 6 months.

Used to play a lot when 12 to 22......the problem is you feel compelled to go for that ball....can't take it easy

....got to the top group of Cheltenham College Divisional league back near 1980.....great fun when you're young

...my Dad learnt it in the RAF playing  and taught me.

my mum"s Bakers cyst behind her knee also burst,vv painful indeed,so bad her doctor said at the time its up there with the worst for pain so I feel for you slippy

I'm going to the G.P. again tomorrow, maybe I need to get it drained or a cortisone injection. It's very debilitating and could well do without it. Cheers chaps, it's a very nasty thing to have happened but it's not the end of the world in the greater scheme of things but it's not nice.

could poison you btw slippy

I felt just the same Slippy but trust me you'll be fine. I could hardly walk when it happened to me. Knee really swelled up and I could feel the heat from my knee through my trousers.

Got hit by a ball at full pelt on the calf muscle by a teacher at my school.....wasn't in play but after a shot he missed and was wacking the ball in anger.....he felt sheepish.

I've never heard of this. Just been reading up on it. Sounds very nasty.

Hope you're better soon, Slippy

Thank you M.D. I'm used to getting sporting injuries but this is a very spiteful one, hope all is well with you

I know a couple pensioners who play badminton, it's far less likely to tear your limbs off in your twilight years :)

MARVELLOUS STIFF PENSIONERYS!

Do Wharburtons make "Baker's Cyst", or is it only available in specialist Delis?

It doesn't LOOK apetising mind you.

Everything is great, thank you Slippy

Pack up baking imo.

I guess driving a car is out Slippy ?

never eating a custard doughnut again .

Went to the NHS site to see what this was and :



Treating Baker's cyst

Treatment for a Baker's cyst isn't needed if you don't have any symptoms. Any symptoms you have can be treated at home.


It was a great help   

Had no idea what that was. hope you feel better soon Slippy.

I was speaking to a bloke in his late sixties who'd hurt his back in the gym lifting weights.
Three months later and he was still in pain.
The trouble is that when you're older you don't mend so quickly.

Oh I see you read it 11kv....it does say go to your doctor if it persists

You don't need treatment if you have no symptoms ffs.........................good ole NH 

Never Heard of it ,Sounds Dreadful   Have you had your Knee Xrayed Slip ?
