Splint, nsaid: Evaluaiton, xray, injection, drainage are par of a workup. Many cysts do not hurt so an xray of the joint may give information about this. Surgery is possie but may not be needed if conservative care works see a hand surgeon since if it is irritating http://www.Handctr.Com/ganglion-cysts-94.Html.
