Has anyone had surgery to remove a ganglion cyst on his or her hand? |
Did you need physical therapy? ok i didnt have this surgery but a close family member did no for phyiscal therapy and yes it leaves a scar and hers did come back No the doctor hits it with a book. no kidding. I didn't have surgery, but I did have a ganglion cyst. My Dr. told that it still could come back even after surgery. So the pain and recovery from the surgery wouldn't be worth it unless the pain was very bad. So he told me that I should quite my job as a secretary (it was from typing) and it would probably go away. It did go away on it's own after about a month. It will occasionaly come back if I use it for typing, so I try to type only with my other hand. When it does come back, it doesn't last long. Sometimes that smacking with a book really works, but not always. I had one once. Just bumped it real hard accidently and it went away. Really! Ganglion cysts usually only require surgery under certain conditions and usually you do not need physical therapy to recover. These used to be called Bible cysts because the way people used to treat them was by hitting them with the largest book in the house and many years ago this was usually the Bible. I absolutely do NOT recommend that you try this unless you really want to know the true meaning of pain. Ganglion cysts also are treated by drainage via syringe but most physicians will only do this if you are having complications due to the cyst as they do have a high rate of reoccurrence. It is thought that ganglion cysts are just pocketed areas of extracellular fluid that is being caught in between laters of connective tissue. It is allowed to get into these areas because the inner most of outer most layer may have thinned or degenerated due to repetitive stress as many people that develop these cysts perform manual labor or work on computers all day but you may also have one for no apparent reason at all. It is somewhat rare to have surgery for these but none-the-less people have it done every day. And yes, more than likely it will come back in some shape, form or fashion. My daughter has one that comes and goes on her hand. Our doctor said you can have it lanced and the fluid removed ,but it might come back. I really don't think it is anything to worry about. If you do have it taken off I doubt if it would leave a very big scar. I'm sure your doctor can tell you. |
