Hello.
She can remove Ganglion cyst on wrist with surgery. Although doctors recommend observation, because ganglion may disappear in time; patient should be watching to make sure nothing radical changes occur.
Because your mum feels pain when she presses on ganglion, it is very possible she needs aspiration- this is a procedure, where doctor drains the fluids- doctor numbs the wrist and puncture the cyst with a needle and removes the fluid. This treatment leaves the outer shell and the stalk of the ganglion intact, so it can reform and reappear.
Also, surgery is possible, but there is no guarantee that the cyst won’t recur. I think it is worth a shot… It is not very complicated surgery and everything goes back to normal after 2-4 weeks.

|
|
Hello,
I've recenetly got the Ganglion cyst, developed in the wrist area, surgically removed. Before the surgery, my wrist was normal but with pain when bent backwards or sideways during exertion. But, after a month post-surgery, I am facing more problems. Though, I've got my cyst removed, but I am unable to flex my wrist, as I used to do earlier. The movement is very much restricted with associated pain, very much unlike a normal wrist.
Also, there is a visible lump and hardness in the excised area of the wrist, which was not present earlier. What could be the reason for such symptoms?
I am not satisfied with the doctor / surgeon's explanation of the symptoms occuring due to natural postoperative conditions.
Please suggest. Thanks for the help.
Regards
Hiten |

I am having the EXACT same problems as Hiten and am also not satisfied with my doctor's answers. I thought this would be a minor deal and am much worse off since the surgery than I was with the cyst. I didn't not see any replys but would love to have an answer.

|
|
| Hello, I am also someone with the Ganglion Cyst problem. I've had the same problem since I was 11 years old. Now it has been 7 years since I've had this problem. For me after a while the pain goes away, though the lumb and embarrassment stays. Though I still can preform everyday activities, even during PT in the Air Force. I've tried the slamming the book and playing volley ball using my thumb to hit the ball to get the cyst back in. It works here and there but theirs a pain that also comes with it. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that it is not that big a deal, and your better off not getting surgery cause that might make the pain worst. Docters and surgery are not the answer these days. |
