I changed my diet radically to reduce acidity – bingo, they all went away. Now I maintain a Ph negative regime in what I put in my mouth.
No problems since.

I too had a ganglion on top of my finger. I hit it with a wooden spoon and it was gone. No surgery for me!!

i was at work one day and went to lift something and lost all use of my hand went to the er and they said i had a TFCC injury and gave me a splint. after about 3 months the pain never did go away so i went to a bone and joint doctor and he did an mri and found out i have a ganglion cyst.. he said he couldnt just use a needle to take it out because it is underneath nerves and tendons. said i would have to have surgery not just local annestetic but all the way under. im kinda nervous because i really dont wanna have surgery.. its not really that big doc said buot 8 cm but not protruding out of my wrist should i get surgery because i am still having pains and weeknesses he said it was my decision. thank you and please respond

I had a ganglion cyst removed from the top of my wrist. It has only been 9 days but I can not move my thumb. I am really upset because I am afraid that something went wrong in the surgery. Please help me out if anyone knows anything about that.

I have had two removed surgically, no return, and one drained and given cortisone, which has returned and is painfull because it is on the thumb joint which I use everyday in my job. I am hoping to have it removed surgically. I also have one on my wrist below the thumb area, this one never hurts and causes me no grief except when people notice it and question about it. I have been told when my other two were removed surgically that the surgeon did not want to touch it as there were too many arteries close to it. Is there something perhaps in ones diet that would cause these to keep forming?

I have taken care of two ganglion cysts in about 10 years. I smacked them with a wooden spoon. It is immediately broken and gone, done, kaput, adios cyst! These cysts were also called “Baker’s cysts” in the “old” days! Forget the surgery!
