A member asked:
The doc says i have ganglion cysts. what can be done to treat this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few options : In the past, people would literally "smash" the cyst with a big book, ie the bible. If done right it can work but cyst comes back. Also u could hurt something else in the process, not recommended. U need to c a surgeon to discuss aspiration, aspiration with injection or surgical excision.
