A member asked:
Sprained my wrist 4 1/2 months ago. they did an mri and found a cyst but the surgeon cannot feel the cyst even though it is on the mri. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Is it a bone cyst or soft tissue mass? Is it still painful or assymptomatic. Ultimately if it is not painful or if it is likely benign, there is not reason to treat it. Remember, physicians treat people. We don't just treat based on a single study.
