My mum gets them from time-to-time too. I don't know if she resorted to whacking it with a heavy tome, or if they just went away.

Actually it's not a position where that would work anyway being on the 'edge' of my arm.<br />I probably could put up with it better if my hand wasn't so painful when I do things. This was just the last straw and seemingly one thing that can be cured so I am going in that direction. I am hotly denying that this 'thing' has anything to do with my using my computer every day.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-53635489844686691262013-02-11T16:57:06.908+08:002013-02-11T16:57:06.908+08:00Oh yes Delores that is SOOOO important.

They aspirated I think, but can't be sure, then put her wrist in a very firm plaster to prevent further swelling. This was years ago and she still gets the ganglion when the wrist is over used. <br />I have a very small ganglion myself and if it begins to swell or get painful I wrap the wrist tightly with sports tape for a day or so. <br />An old cure for ganglions was to lay the wrist on a table and have someone bash it hard with the big old family bible to rupture the cyst, then bandage it up tightly until the body had absorbed the fluid from the ruptured cyst.
