Doubtful: In the old days, it was called the "bible" treatment to rupture a ganglion cyst on a person's wrist. As the bible was usually the biggest book in people's houses, it was told to people to swing it hard against the wrist to rupture the cyst. The blow i'm sure hurt more than the cyst rupturing.

It can: I have had patients complain of pain for a couple of days after a spotaneous rupture of a ganglion. If it persists i would have your doc evaluate.
