Does A Baker S Cyst Cause Lower Backache And Soreness Around The Ribcage?

Have a bakers cyst in left leg behind knee. Have Lower back pain and soreness in left side around left ribs. Sometimes makes me catch my breath (pain) under my breast and ribs. Does a bakers cyst cause this? Since I have put a ace bandage around bakers cyst back feels much better.

Hello,

It is not related to bakers cyst. Most probably it will be due to costochondritis.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
