Ganglion cyst

Asked for Female, 31 years

I have pain in my right wrist since a few months. The pain is very persistent and my x-rays were clear and the doctor gave me a panadol which wasn’t effective. Later, a hard bulge appeared on my wrist which is clearly visible and the pain has increased since then. I got it checked and found out that it is Gangolian cyst. My concern is that it has been two weeks and the there is no relief. How long will it take to recover? Is there any other source of recovery?

Dear Patient,

Usually, a ganglion cyst is insignificant and requires no treatment. However, if this isn't going away on its own you can try wearing a wrist brace which can help reduce movement of the wrist while you recover and dec pain. Don't wear this for more than two weeks as it can weaken the unused muscle. If this doesn't help the dr may want to aspire some fluid from it or rarely consider operating it.
A ganglion cyst usually disappears itself. You will just have to manage pain with painkillers, ointments and brace. We hope you feel better soon.
