Question 1

nerve damage if ganglion cyst ruptures?

Accepted Answer

No: Ganglion cyst is usually formed on a tendon. There should not any nerve damage.

Question 2

can popping a sebaceous armpit cyst myself cause nerve damage, to my armpit?

Accepted Answer

Armpit cyst: You are more apt to be  causing an infection rather than nerve damage when you pop a cyst.

Question 3

can tarlov cyst cause severe pain, and permanent nerve damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The majority of tarlov cysts are found incidentally when looking for other things--ie, they are asymptomatic. That being said, tarlov cysts can compress the nerves adjacent to them causing sometimes significant dysfunction.

Question 4

which is more likely to cause caudal equina syndrome: a tarvol cyst, a lesion in thecal sac at l4, or nerve damage from tvt bladder sling and removal?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking!: Tarvol cyst is most likely to caused caudal equine syndrome, specially if the cyst is grater then 1.5 cm. Those cysts, tarlov cysts, are defined as cysts formed within the nerve-root sheath at the dorsal root ganglion in the spinal canal, most of them  are benign.

Question 5

will lumbosacral plexus mr neurography provide data to diagnose nerve damage caused by: intradural lesion at l4, 1.5 cm tarlov cyst at s-2, and damage from mini-arc bladder sling and partial removal?

Accepted Answer

MR Neurogram: The MRI neurogram can help with location of neurologic conditions and somewhat the activity and what it is doing to surrounding tissue.  It does not necessarily diagnose "nerve damage" although it certainly can help confirm a space occupying entity that may cause mechanical compression on a nerve or the character of an intradural lesion. Would not expect to help with the mini sling issue.

Question 6

burning sensation feeling on skin over pelvic area. no other symptoms. is this nerve damage or just caused from health anxiety and stress?ovarian cyst

Accepted Answer

It depends: The pelvic area is from navel to upper thighs.  Are you saying lower abdomen or lower back/sacral area; deep or on the skin?  Contact dermatitis may be one cause due to detergent or fabric softener in your panties or some other chemicals in that area.  If it is not painful to press on lower belly, move the hips or lower back, bend or extend, then not likely internal or spine/joint related.

Question 7

sebaceous cyst and breast pain. my doc said i may have caused nerve damage when i popped it myself 3 mounts ago. whats the likelihood that i did damag?

Accepted Answer

I won't worry much: About it. It could just be bruised or pinched nerve. U may take otc Motrin and apply warm packs to the involved area. Take care!

Question 8

i had a cyst removed from my 2nd  toe 35years ago. sometimes my toe feels numb and curls. nerve damage?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It is possible, but unlikely 35yrs after surgery if symptoms are new.   Best way to find out is to see your PCP or a Podiatrist for an examination and possibly diagnostic tests.  Take Care!

Question 9

how can you the difference between nerve damage, bible cyst, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel?

Accepted Answer

All are different: "bible cysts" refer to a mass or swelling on the top of the wrist which is a ganglion.  It is usually round and non-tender. Tendinitis in the back of the hand or wrist is more diffuse and at times painful.  Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs with pressure on the median nerve on the palm side of the wrist with numbness, pain, and tingling.

Question 10

had  lg ganglion cyst removed on thumb knuckle . have constant burning in thumb, numb on thumb tip. should i worry about nerve damage? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Good sign: Dead nerve do not hurt.  The dysesthesia you describe means the nerve is working - just not too well.  It is trying to recover from injury.  It should recover with time and appropriate care.  You may use local anesthetic cream to help numb it during the recovery.
