I have a ganglion cyst on my inner right wrist and I recently went to the doctor. He said that the only way for it to be gone is by doing surgery, due to the artery/vein that s near the cyst. I researched about this and I saw that I can smash or pop this stubborn thing with a Bible (it said it was cured that way) or a heavy book, but not as hard as if I were going to break my wrist. So, uh.. Tell me doc, can I save money and do the Bible Bash?
Ganglion cyst is collection of fluid/ viscous material near the tendon sheath or joint, it is because of the friction of tendon in the tendon sheath, the cyst like material will be gone once you press it but it again reaccumulates, i would recommend surgery if it is really bothering you, i.e. if you are having any pain or difficulty in doing activities, or if it is of cosmetic significance if not I will recommend leaving it alone, ganglion cyst go away if you smash or pop, but it again comes back because of the friction between tendon and its sheath, the only way for cure is surgery if it really bothers.
