Pulled hamstring/bakers cyst

bump

I've got a bakers cyst on the back of my knee that is re aggravating 9 months after injury, acts a lot like what you describe. Anybody else out there with a baker cyst?

A.EmondI pulled my hamstring about a month ago and i have bean going to physio therapy for a month aswell and i am doing all the exercises and icing everyday. I noticed that my knee hurts after skiing on the weekend and for the whole week it slowly gets better. This weekend i went skiing and pretty much didnt try anything and bearly rode switch and it still hurt, i do have a knee brace but idk if it did anything. any tips or exercises that will help my knee?
Thanks

I like to use an elastic knee brace. If my knee acts up a little I just throw it on and it secures my knee and that usually solves my problem! A good knee brace to get i the copper fit ones!

maybe your just breaking up scar tissue and it will get better after a while

Honnestly I dont specifically remember how i got rid of this... but im pretty sure overtime physio, icing and exercices helped alot

Did it ever come back? I'm afraid I need to do 2-3x as much physio, icing, ect this time. wasn't enough

It didnt suprisingly, part of the reason (from what I remember) might be because the season was slowly winding down at that point. It was probably late feb or early march when it happened, i had a few full weekends of skiing with the injury, after that i'd only go skiing once a week until mid april max. So as I was doing physio I was slowly starting to ski less and less. Once the season was completely over i was able to heal up completely.

I think rest (not skiing / and no intense use of that knee) will help alot... defiinitely keep doing physio if you believe its not getting better.

If you really can't stay away from the ski hill or the pain isn't crazy bad then I would recommend skiing less "hard" or doing things will less impact.

Hope this helps, heal up!

*** clearly it didnt happen in late feb /early march because I posted in december... my bad.

What probably happened was that i skied alot during christmas break which was really hard on the knee, then back to school and and maybe a weekend off in late Jan (for exams) probably gave me enough time to rest it
