Has Anyone had a Ganglion Cyst?
About a year ago I had a little bruise on my wrist, right in the middle on the top. It was soar but I didn't think anything of it because I have problems with my iron levels and I have always bruised easily. Well maybe a month or to later I had this little bump that you really couldn't see unless I bent my wrist but everything was still working... It would be a little painfull here and there, depending on what I did that day. Now a year later it's becoming more and more painfull! 3 days ago I couldn't pick up anything with out shooting pains right up my arm , and it right in the joint so if I move it just right there's numbness and tingling. It was too bad yesterday but I am losing serious movement of my wrist because when I do move it, there so much pain. Now I'm not one for taking pills or going to the doctors, I hate pain meds and anyone that is going to poke and prod me :rolleyes: but I finally broke down and call the doctors off and made an appointment for tomorrow, but I am wondering if anyone else has every had one and what they had to do to get rid of it? The doctor mentioned over the phone that I could possibly need surgery to remove it but not to worry about it until they looked at everything. But if they did do surgery that would splint my hand for a week or two, and I'm a workaholic so If I have surgery I will be returning back to work that day or maybe the day after!
Has any one had one?
If you had surgery on it what was the recovery like?
Thanks !
