I have a recurring ganglion on my wrist, causes a little bit of aching but is mostly just annoying and painful when i catch it on something.
Now last time it cropped up i managed to get rid of it by accidentally squashing it when closing the dishwasher. despite repeated efforts i can't seem to replicate this complex medical procedure.
should i just **** it with a book (if this is anything like the dishwasher incident it will result in me running around screaming like a little girl as it is right on a tendon) or is there a more creative way of bursting them?
the advantage of the dishwasher approach was that i didn't have to pluck up the courage to do it, it just happened.
MTFU?
Get mrsMW to sneak up on me and hit me with something?
Take it to the doctors?
Apparently the bible is the book to bash it with...
Friend went to the doctor with one, doctor told him to hit it with something heavy. Problem solved, with much hilarity for his housemate who did the hitting by suprise with a catering sized roll of clingfilm...
yeah, not exactly something i keep to hand. I suspect the gideons bible in my hotel rooms would be a little flimsy, a bit like it's content
I remember a girl at school had one. She told us that she went to the doctor with her mum. Doctor looked at it and put her hand on the desk and said, "Ah, I've got just the book for this", then hit her with it.
This that's bad, I used to work with a guy who told us he had a cyst on one of his nuts. When he saw the doctors, he just squeezed/pinched it off. The guy goes green every time he tells the story.

My ganglion went when I fell off my bike one time.
I broke my hip in the same fall so it wasn't all positive.
Whack it with the back of a ladle or big spoon

LOL - same advice as my doctor gave me then.... 😀
Seem top recall mine was 'cured' when accidently banging my wrist into something 🙄
I get them on my finger joints.
Riding steps on rigid forks cures them....
Harry, not on the sack, on the nut! He was told the bit would float around in there for a while but eventually is would go away!
good job it didn't need the family bible treatment then Onzadog...
erm, what the hell's a ganglion....?
Is it similar to a klingon?
A ganglion is a small cyst that contains a thick jelly-like material. It looks and feels like a smooth lump under the skin. It is not fully understood how they occur. It is usually attached to a joint or tendon, and the fluid inside is like a thicker version of the fluid which 'lubricates' the joint and tendon sheaths (synovial fluid).The two common sites where they are found are on the back of the wrist and on the top of the foot next to the small joints. Other sites of the body are affected less commonly.
I had one on the back of the wrist .. doctor advised against the bible treatment! He injected a load of steroid crap into it which made it go away ... for about 2 weeks before it was back.
I got pissed off with it as it dug in when I rode mi' bike .. so I smacked it repeatedly on a steel weights bench .. did the job a treat, and it's not been back since! (2 years)
Laura had one and used to get RSI as a result of it, She had a minor op where they injected a dye in her wrist (I forget why), which cleared both the ganglion and the RSI. Weird but true...
Hit it. Are you man or mouse..?
Lol. at all you Bible bashers.
IGMC.
I had one. Choice was hit it hard with something or, leave it be. Luckily it went after a couple of months. Did look a little unattractive though. I don't think there's much that the dr. can do.
Can be caused by arthritic bone irritating the joint capsule. I had one on the first joint on my little finger and had it removed surgically. It came back after about 5 years. Just had it removed again and this time the surgeon took off a little bit of arthritic bone which he reckoned was causing it.
Had one but it went by itself after a while...always good for a "oh, look at this lump under my skin" moments down the pub.

Yeah, I love them. 😕
bible.
you have the devil in you.
Yer officially they lance then withal syringe but that is too neat nurturing the bay banging with book is better at stopping them reforming
I had/have one on my wrist. I think it was caused by the stress of having my wrist in an awkward position when holding the new baby. It was painful for a while, and I went to the doc just in case - he advocated not hitting it but popping it instead. I tried really hard to pop it and just succeeded in really hurting my wrist much more and bruising it. So I left it, and it's going away on its own.
don't look if your are squeamish!
