When I was in high school, I got a cyst on my wrist. It went away on its own. However, it came back while I was in boot camp. It didn't hurt, unless I tried to do push ups. The extra pressure on the wrist hurt. So, they slapped a wrist brace on it, and I got back to work. That was fine with me. I was never given much of a diagnosis other than the fact that it was a cyst. Eventually, it went away again, and it hasn't been back.
Last night, I was reading "Martha Stewart Living" May 2009. (Don't say anything. I know I don't seem the type. I'm not, but I have a free subscription. I'm enjoying it, so don't knock it. I'm still a tomboy at heart, though.) There was an article about hand health and it mentioned Ganglion cysts. I'm pretty sure that is what I had. It doesn't really matter what I had. The reason I am mentioning this is because the article almost made me fall off the bed laughing when I read
Too often, Wolf says, people try to rupture ganglion cysts on their own by banging on them with a book or other heavy object. "I do not recommend this," she says.OH MY GOSH!!!!
