Have do appt in a week. how is synovial fluid drained from wrist with a ganglion cyst (not obvious but showed up on mri.) will pain go away then? now feels like sledgehammer hitting my wrists. and are topical roll ons worth buying for this pain?

you will get a local anesthesia and should not feel any pain. It will be done with a tiny needle and syringe. If you get it drained you do not need anything else
