knee pain? cysts?
-
have had chronic knee pain for weeks now, got an MRI and found I had "IT band syndrome" alongside a "recently popped bakers cyst" in the MRI
I cannot currently touch my toes, and have extreme pain in my calf.
is there any suggestions?

@pillsbury Knees Over Toes Guy's channel is really good for knee rehab and a lot of other preventative / PT stuff for shoulders, lower back, etc, really recommend checking him out and trying out some of the exercises shown.

What kind of exercises were you doing before getting injured?? Those are both injuries of over-use. I had the same time of cyst on my wrist from gymnastics but I didn't pop it. I stopped putting heavy loads on it and I took lots of aspirin, and it disappeared in a couple of months.You should take aspirin, vitamin E mixed tocopherols, and get some selenium from shellfish 2x a week. Put a warm wet rag on it for 10 minutes every day. Never use icy hot at the same time as the skin is wet, but icy hot or a similar menthol+camphor+methyl salicylate rub helps too.
