How much will it hurt to burst my ganglion cyst using the BIble method?

I've had this cyst in my wrist for almost 6 months (from when I first noticed it). I went to the doctor he said give it time, but from what I understand it's possible cysts can call your wrist home for quite some time. I just recently began getting a pain in my wrist, nothing severe, just uncomfortable. Would it be wise to bust it using a hard book? Also, how painful is it to bust it using this method?

I forgot to mention that it always appears to be the same size each and every day. I know for some people they tend to grow and shrink on certain days, but mine just stays the same

Wow, I never heard of it being called the Bible method. I've had a ganglion cyst before and if you hit it on something it ruptures and HURTS. It can also grow back. The only way to assure it won't grow back is to have surgery to remove the sac. I'd check it out with an orthopedic doctor who specializes in the hand and wrist. That's the type of doctor who removed mine several years ago and it has never come back.

points for becker....i have heard of bible method in jest only.....go get the thing drained by a doc....

It doesnt really hurt. Just a bit of a surprise.
My mother did it to me years ago since I kept hesitating. No big deal
