Anybody had a ganglion cyst before?

I’ve battled rheumatoid arthritis and carpel tunnel in the past and I have a bump on my left wrist. Been told most of the time it’s not dangerous. Just fluid released into it from a joint. Anybody had an experience with one or had one cut out?

No but I’m sorry to hear that. I do suffer from chronic fibromyalgia though. Comes from working long days in the machine shop.

I had one in the top of my hand. Just lived with it for a few years by hitting it with a book but it kept coming back. Eventually got it removed a couple years ago. Surgery was fine until the local anesthesia started wearing off and I could feel the surgeon digging into my wrist.
Dr. Ahmad did mine in BR. Funny guy.

They are also known as "Bible cysts" because the old remedy for them was to whack it with the family bible to release the fluid.
Believe it or not, the one I had on my left wrist was taken care of by my chiropractor. He took my hand and put both thumbs over the cyst. He then asked for me to relax my wrist as he brought it upward and pulled down on it. This drove both of his thumbs into the cyst sharply at the same time. He went on and adjusted me, and by the time I was back out to the car, the fluid was gone and all I had was a sore wrist for a few hours.
That was 8 or so years ago, and it has never come back.

I have a few of them on my knuckles. I’m going to keep them because the one I had surgically removed was a cluster frick. It took forever for me to get full range of motion back in it and it is still extremely sensitive 11 years later.

I had mine surgically removed from my left wrist approximately 16 years ago. It has come back in the same spot a month ago. It fluctuates in size and pain. Most the time I don’t notice it.

I had one in my hand that was actually painful. Couldn't do anything that put weight on my wrist in like the push up position. Had surgery turns out it was nerve wrapped, took out the cyst and the nerve. Fine now.

I had one removed from my hand in 1986. I had had it for years, and it never bothered me. Then it started hurting and shooting red streaks up my forearm. But my understanding is that my case was kind of rare among these (it was in an odd spot, the web between my right thumb and forefinger).
The surgery was easy. Outpatient, in and out, 3 hours. And that was back then with knife & scalpel. If you needed it out now, they’d probably just laser it.

Had one smacked with a textbook a few years back. Strange sensation at first but relatively painless. Nut up and let your old lady take a swing.

I had one from my teens through my mid-20s. I’d rupture it periodically with something heavy like a phone book. It eventually stopped coming back.

Absolute truth. I had one on the top of my right wrist maybe ten years ago and it bugged the hell out of me. One day I had my fill and squeezed the heck out of it with thumb and index finger of my left hand. I felt it squish/pop. Went away and has never come back

In true LSU fans, these are called “gangtiger” cysts.
Just sayin’.

Had one removed from top of left hand years ago. Must have had a bad experience bc it was incredibly painful for a while after surgery and the scar tissue that developed after was worse.

Look into Red Desert Clay (Calcium Montmorillonite). Literally dirt that you eat/drink. Sounds like some voodoo, I know, but it’s recommended for that. I used it and it got rid of one I had on the outside of my wrist, next to the bone that sticks out on the side. Possibly coincidence, but I had it for a while before I started taking that stuff, and it went away pretty quick.

I had one in college the size of a golf ball. That's how I got rid of it.
