A member asked:

When can i resume going gym after getting a ganglion cyst on the left wrist?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Cyst: As soon as your wrist feels comfortable for the gym. There is a risk of recurrence if you go back too soon. Usually 2 to 4 weeks is the best course. Greg.

1-2weeks: Once normal, non painful range of motion returns, one can resume workouts.
