10 Baker's Cyst Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Stiffness
Many people experience stiffness when they are struggling with a Baker’s cyst. Stiffness occurs when the individual is unable to fully move or stretch the affected area. Sometimes, simple stretching is enough to alleviate the stiffness, but in serious cases it can require that you heal the underlying problem before the joint is fully repaired.
Stiffness is often more uncomfortable during the mornings or after sitting for any extended periods of time. Getting up and moving the joint helps to redistribute the fluid and bring blood to the area, which helps to reduce stiffness.
