A member asked:
I was misdiagnosed with arthritis, then kienbock's. now i'm told i have a cyst in my lunate. dr. wants me to get physical therapy, but will that help?

Perhaps: Physical therapy is a safe and effective means of parsing out whether this cyst is the source of your pain versus the irritation of the tendons in your wrist and hand may be getting due to the cyst. If pt doesn't help then the cyst may be the primary problem.
