I have a ruptured bakers cyst, had it 13 years now, doctors here in the uk do nothing, told me as it was ruptured they can’t remove or treat it ?

Thank you all for your feedback, hospitial rang with an appointment soon

I also had a bakers cyst along with gangling cysts and 2 tears in my menisci
My pain was outrageous!

I get Baker's cysts. They both have burst before even though it's rare. It is so painful especially with RA because the fluid just keeps on coming and not dispersing into the body. I had a synovectomy done on my right knee in 2018. I don't get the cyst in that knee anymore, now the inflammation goes out the front. It helped, but I think it's done when nothing else works. The left one burst in 2021 and it was awful. Cortisone shots may help. I got one and it alleviated the inflammation somewhat, but not enough. I told my doctor I need something to kick it out! I took 2000 mgs of Naproxen a day for a week and it worked. I think doctors should understand that we sometimes need a more heavy duty approach in order to stop inflammation. I guess I'm telling you all of this is because Baker's cyst are no joke. Be careful. Ice helps. Wrap them up in bags of ice or use an ice pack. I found some good ones on Amazon that have velcro. Diclofenac gel is good, too. You can put that on any joint. I still use Naproxen, not such a high dose (500mgs, 2xs/day when needed) and it helps with lower back pain as well. I take Percocet, too, for pain. That's not so easy to get, but it sounds like you need something stronger! I Another thing I found out during all of this is I have osteoarthritis in my knees. Have they checked xrayed your knees? I get gel shots every 6 months now and it helps tremendously. I hope you get some relief soon.
