There are no cakes and it's got nothing to do with a bakery!

You might think my title is a bit odd but bear with me. :wink:

I have yet another baker's cyst, on a different knee to the most recent one just for variety, you see. I only had a steroid injection a week or so ago, so I was surprised at its appearance. Rheumy physio feels I have OA (at the grand old age of 25!!) in my knees as a result of uncontrolled RA in my feet, ankles and right hip for the best part of 4 years. I am now using two crutches to try and improve my gait but it appears the damage has been done.

I am most disappointed that a baker's cyst is in no way related to a baker or a bakery and that the cyst did not come from a baker. I had hoped to return the cyst to the baker in return for cakes.

Regardless of the non-existent baker, I am going to have some cakes to comfort myself. I may even visit a bakery, any orders? No cysts allowed! :D

    Sorry to hear your news and do hope things improve a little for you soon. If we are talking about cake, could I have coffee and walnut or chocolate plse? Hope you enjoyed yours, whatever it was!

    I've had a big fat slice of Victoria sponge. Not for me, you see but for my joints. :D

    So sorry to hear you're suffering Starburst, although your post made me laugh so loudly I startled the cat! Got to have a sense of humour!

    I have lemon cheesecake in the freezer, don't mind if I do! x

    Oh s*d it, if it's not one thing then it's another. I too have OA thanks to untreated PsA and it's not fun. NOT FUN. NOT FUN. :wink:

    It seems to me, young Sophie, that you are having waaaaay to much of the bad stuff and nowhere near enough of the good stuff. I sincerely hope that things begin to improve for you very soon. DD

    Thanks for the support, you lovely people. I had a lovely swim yesterday - I say 'swim' but I just float and stretch as per my physio's advice. On the way home, I drove past a lovely bakery and just had to stop, I had a warm, freshly baked pain au chocolate. It was great! :D
