A member asked:

Can i do my workout with ganlion cyst on the top of my wrist? are there any exercises i should avoid doing? is it okay to wear a wrist bandage?

No: A ganglion cyst is filled with a gel like substance, it needs to be drained and a lot of times surgically removed. Go to a hand or a plastic surgeon.

Yes : Ganglion cysts on the dorsum or top of the wrist are a benign condition but can cause pain with activities. Pain may be most prominent with weight bearing or push up type acitivities. These can be treated with aspiration or drainage but recurrence is common. Surgical exicision can remove the cyst more permanently if symptoms are persistent.
