A member asked:
Can a dorsal ganglion cyst cause forearm, elbow, and shoulder pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Usually ganglion pain is localized to the affected wrist. However if it is affecting movement and one is compensating for the pain it could cause referred pain to other joints on the same extremity.
