Baker's Cyst:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002202/

Baker's cyst is a buildup of joint fluid (synovial fluid) that forms behind the knee.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
A Baker's cyst is caused by swelling in the knee. The swelling is due to an increase in synovial fluid - the fluid that lubricates the knee joint. When pressure builds up, fluid bulges into the back of the knee.

Baker's cyst commonly occurs with:

A tear in the meniscal cartilage of the knee
Knee arthritis (in older adults)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Other knee problems

Symptoms
A large cyst may cause some discomfort or stiffness, but there are often no symptoms. There may be a painless or painful swelling behind the knee.

The cyst may feel like a water-filled balloon. Sometimes, the cyst may break open (rupture), causing pain, swelling, and bruising on the back of the knee and calf.

It is important to know whether pain or swelling is caused by a Baker's cyst or a blood clot. A blood clot (deep venous thrombosis) can also cause pain, swelling, and bruising on the back of the knee and calf. A blood clot may be dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.

Signs and tests
During a physical exam, the doctor will look for a soft mass in the back of the knee. If the cyst is small, comparing the affected knee to the normal knee can be helpful. There may be limitation in range of motion caused by pain or by the size of the cyst. In some cases there will be signs and symptoms of a meniscal tear.

Transillumination, or shining a light through the cyst, can show that the growth is fluid filled.

If the mass grows quickly, or you have night pain, severe pain, or fever, you will need more tests to make sure you do not have other types of tumors.

X-rays will not show the cyst or a meniscal tear, but they will show other problems that may be present, including arthritis.

MRIs can help the health care provider see the cyst and look for any meniscal injury.

Treatment
Often no treatment is needed. The health care provider can watch the cyst over time.

If the cyst is painful, the goal of treatment is to correct the problem, such as arthritis or a meniscus tear. The cyst is usually not removed because it can come back. The surgery may also damage nearby blood vessels and nerves.

Sometimes, a cyst can be drained (aspirated) or, in rare cases, removed with surgery if it becomes very large or causes symptoms.

Expectations (prognosis)
A Baker's cyst will not cause any long-term harm, but it can be annoying and painful. The symptoms of Baker's cysts usually come and go.
Long-term disability is rare. Most people improve with time or arthroscopic surgery.

Complications
Complications are unusual, but may include:
Long-term pain and swelling
Complications from related injuries, like meniscal tears

Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have swelling behind the knee that becomes large or painful. Pain could be a sign of infection.

GEEZ! WTF??
DAN- Come on, get better buddy!

Love that guy. On Arnel's fist tour and visit to Seattle, Dan got my wife and I front-row seats. We'd only talked here.
Such a great guy.

Come on Dan, you can beat this.

Wishing for a speedy and complete recovery. Sounds like Dan is in good hands. Slow and easy Dan, no getting worked up by a hot nurse or candy-striper. :wink:

Man, this week just needs to be over already.

I hope the Greekmeister recovers soon. Laughter is the best medicine, so you guys keep treating him with funny texts.

Get well, Dan! ((hug))

Btw, can anyone tell me if Dan's number is the same with what I have here? It ends with 5562.
I'd like to send him some cheering texts like "What doesn't kill you makes you a Friga fan" and that sort of stuff. :lol:

I keep telling him not to pinch off when he is peeing...and other things...all the fluid has to go SOMEWHERE!

Dan...WTF, motherfucker? You get your ass better, out of that hospital, back to the gym, and then to MR3 in May. I'm counting on you being there.

Remember, you aren't allowed to have any hot nurses smother you until your attending physician gives you the green light.

I think everyone here should be praying for Dan as well as Deano and his beautiful family. And every guy on the forum should be required to tie a miniature flag halfway up around his John Thomas all weekend in honor of Deano.

Somewhere in the world is the guy with the heaviest-ever single turd in history.

In honor of Dean and Dan, we should all weigh in this weekend and try to beat the record.

He's gonna have surgery and should be home by Monday.
I thought I would keep the " family " informed .
He hated the idea of a prayer thread so I figured I'd start one

Get well soon Dan !

I've had this. This is a life changing thing, really. Hope all will be fine

Nothing new, except he can walk again ( chasing hot nurses ). Well I told him the drugs make him think they're hot nurses and I'm sending Blueskies over for his sponge bath , to which he replied : "Fuck ... I'd rip my IV out and hang myself with it if I saw her. ". :lol:

Oh my goodness! Aren't they giving him anything to break the clots up?

I have had my run in's with health problems. In late January, I tripped over a child's rocking horse, landed on my right side, and my right arm went out in a way it shouldn't go. So now I have a fractured shoulder. Then on Valentine's Day, I was admitted to the hospital with a very high white blood count.( It was up to 24,000) Spent three days there, hooked up to iv's and taking meds. They even shot me up with an anti-clotting med to make sure I didn't get any clots in my legs.

Dan, get well soon. You are missed!
