Hi, I had a ganglion cyst removed by a needle yesterday at the hospital but instead of a clear fluid it was blood and quite alot, now I cannot move my hand or wrist due to the pain and the lump is still there and even more painful what should I do and what will the next form of treatment be? And is blood normal instead of clear fluid?
Hi, The pain and swelling in your wrist in the area of surgery is likely to be bruising from the procedure at this early stage. The procedure you had will not have removed the ganglion, it will have aspirated the contents of the cyst. I am surprised it was blood as ganglia do not usually contain blood. In order to more reliably treat a ganglion I would suggest surgical removal. Therefore, if your symptoms do not improve in two days, a visit to your doctor would be appropriate for further assessment.  Chat Doctor.
