  Sometimes a Baker cyst will disappear on its own. Mild symptoms can often be controlled by avoiding activities that trigger them. […] However, if the cyst is large and causes pain, you may need treatment. […] A nonprescription pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) can reduce pain and inflammation. […] An injection of steroid medication, such as cortisone, into the knee can reduce inflammation. This may reduce the size of the cyst and relieve pain, but it doesn’t always stop the cyst from coming back. […] Gentle exercises that improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the knee may help it feel better and preserve knee function. […] To reduce the size of the cyst, your care provider may drain the fluid from the cyst using a needle. This is called needle aspiration and is often performed with ultrasound guidance.

[…] PRP accelerates healing so that you can quickly get back to the activities you need or love to do. […] PRP is given via injection, which is much less invasive and much less risky than any surgery for the knee. This also means quicker recovery times, as there is no damage done to the knee that needs to heal as well. […] PRP helps reduce inflammation and pain over time, which is the main goal. […] PRP can provide long-term relief because it is not simply masking pain, it is treating the root causes of the Bakers cysts. […] Since Bakers cysts are a symptom of other knee issues, it is most important to diagnose the underlying issues and treat those along with aspirating a Bakers cyst.

  Sometimes a Baker cyst will disappear on its own. Mild symptoms can often be controlled by avoiding activities that trigger them. […] However, if the cyst is large and causes pain, you may need treatment. […] A nonprescription pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) can reduce pain and inflammation. […] An injection of steroid medication, such as cortisone, into the knee can reduce inflammation. This may reduce the size of the cyst and relieve pain, but it doesn’t always stop the cyst from coming back. […] Gentle exercises that improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the knee may help it feel better and preserve knee function. […] To reduce the size of the cyst, your care provider may drain the fluid from the cyst using a needle. This is called needle aspiration and is often performed with ultrasound guidance. […] Rarely, surgery is needed to remove the cyst. This approach is typically used only after other treatment options haven’t helped the pain and the ability to walk or perform other activities is still limited.
