Old thread I know and don't know if you'll see this - but what happened with your daughter's ?ganglion ? I've just got back from A&E with my dd - dr diagnosed ganglion but says she will probaly need surgery. She's in serious pain and can't move her knee joint. Might be near a nerve I think.

urgh gross

If it is a ganglion I would not recommend you hit it with a bible!
I had one (when younger) and tried this and the pain was excruciating - I also couldn't put any weight on my wrist for months and movement was limited.
Perhaps mine wasn't a ganglion .

It did go eventually though.

My god. I have a cyst old enough to be a mother. I could be grandmother to a baby cyst.

<old emoticon>

I had one on each wrist for a while - in fact, have just checked, and I still have one on my right hand. And that's getting on for 20 years now... shows you how much trouble it's caused me.

I had one of these about 18 months ago. I took cod liver oil capsules and generally looked after it (ie strapped my wrist up if it started to hurt etc) and it went within a few weeks.

I had one of these as a teenager...I went to the doctor & he repeated what my mother had told me!!! HIT IT WITH A BIBLE...so I let one of my brothers give it his best shot & boy, he really did give his BEST shot, I thought he'd broken my wrist, however, next day, ganglion gone, sore for a bit but left me wondering about the Dr & his ethics for a long time, lol!!! It NEVER came back x

I'm a martyr to me ganglions. At the minute I gave one on the underside of my right (dominant) wrist and one in the middle of the right wrist on top.
They can go away on their own
They can be whacked with a book/stapler etc
They can be drained by the doc
They can be removed by surgery if very severe and affecting hand movement.

Some can be painful (if near a large nerve)
Some you don't know they're there unless you can see or feel them.

Let doc have a look and put your mind at rest
(is it squidgy/squashy and be moved a wee bit?)

I used to have a ganglion on my non-dominant hand. I used to whack it with a stapler (allows a more precise aim than a heavy book!) It used to go away and then re-appear a few weeks later ... until it went away never to return.

It's just the same today , we have a GP appointment for friday so crossing fingers it's nothing.
