Guest guest Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I have discovered a Baker's Cyst on the back of my left knee while at the Chiro getting some relief from Sciatica about two weeks ago. It may have been there for a very long time. I don't have any real pain from it directly, but I do have a numbness on the outside of the leg, just below the knee. I've been rubbing DMSO cream (50%) on it for over a week and no real changes have been noticed. I have been taking the Total Tonic 3x a day for about two weeks now, and taking Turmeric capsules, 2-2x a day. It's hard to tell, but I think the cyst got a bit larger and I was hoping I was reducing the inflammation. I can now feel it all the time, it's not painful, but annoying. Is anyone aware of how to get rid of this thing? I didn't find anything helpful on my internet search other than surgery or just waiting for it to go away on it's own. My friend says they can burst and are very painful. The Chiro said he would refer me to a surgeon if I wanted (need a new Chiro!). I would like to avoid that happening! Diane A VETERANWhether on active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America, " for an amount of "up to and including my life."That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.Author unknown.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 1, 2009 New chiro is in order. Have you considered someone who specializes in lymphatic drainage? I've had a few treatments recently and I'm very pleased. I had an iridologist tell me my lymph was blocked so I thought I would check it out.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 2, 2009 a massage therapist with specalizd training are the ones who do lymph drainage . when you call around , make sure you ask if the person doing the massage was trained by the upledger institute !! if they say no and offer some other training info ... dont go !!! the upledger institute is the one that has massive , comprehensive courses . i know of no other school /teacher that is as thorough as upledger . you will do youself a diservice going to a lesser trained therapist . just my humble opinion ... gab Diane Mackey wrote: > > > Hi Kay, > > What kind of person specializes in Lymph drainage?

Guest guest Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Hi Diane, Great question. I found mine via a personal referral from my colon hydro therapist but googling the question I found this link. http://www.vodderschool.com/ Hope it helps. There is an herbal tea called Weightless made by Traditional Medicinals which contains cleavers which is an herb that also helps the lymph system. It was recommended to me for fluid retention so if there is swelling due to a fall it might be an inexpensive way to support release of fluids. Kay - Diane Mackey herbal remedies Thursday, July 02, 2009 10:13 AM Re: {Herbal Remedies} Baker's cyst Hi Kay, What kind of person specializes in Lymph drainage? Would it be a massage therapist? The fluid is call synovial fluid, a joint fluid, so I'm not sure it would help, but it is always good to make sure the lymph is working correctly. Because I found it about two weeks after a bad fall on that knee, I think the cause might be a meniscus tear, but I have no pain at all and the knee works just fine. I just don't want the thing to burst because that is painful. Funny, not one site that talks about it ever mentions that it goes away.
