10 Baker's Cyst Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: A Lump
The most characteristic symptom of a cyst is a lump. In fact, the two terms are sometimes used synonymous, although this isn’t entirely accurate since not all lumps are cysts.
The lump emerges, in the case of a Baker’s cyst, when the synovial fluid is pushed out of the joint. Since it often doesn’t have anywhere to go, it can build up against the skin. When enough fluid builds up, it becomes visible in the form of a lump. The lump is usually a clear indicator that you are suffering from a Baker’s cyst if you experience it in conjunction with some of these other symptoms.
