| I had one on my left wrist that got irritated when I used it a lot. When I worked as a cashier and bagger at a grocery store. I got the same story, maybe it goes away, maybe it doesn't. I never had surgery or anything and it went away on it's own. And hasn't come back.

| my boyfriend had a a cyst on the top of his hand; I think from playing video games for too long. He was all freaked out about it; and we went to visit my mom. My mom knew exactly what it was and had a large cook book sitting on her counter...she told him "let me see that; lay your hand flat." and when he did she SLAMMED his hand with the book. It got rid of it. He said the book didn't really hurt because he had no idea it was coming.

| I am so surprised to see this thread! I just discoverd a cyst like that on my left wrist and it's been bothering me so I was going to my regular dr to get a referal to have it removed.. My husband also has one in the same spot, same wrist, but his is much larger than mine. After reading this I'm tempted just to go whack it with something and save myself the pain of the removal LOL -- j/k.. maybe.. lol! |

Every once in awhile it bothers me, but I press on it when it decides to flare up, and it never has gotten too bad again... | |

| I've had one twice on my left outside wrist and they got big both times. I went to the Dr. and he said they could remove it, but they could come back again. They went away on their own and knock on wood, it hasn't come back for years! Good luck!

| No it has never returned. Also I meant to say mine was really hurting because of the sports I was in and my wrist being a used so much. Thats why I had mine removed plus it was the size of a large marble and was getting larger and larger.

Recently, I had a strange lump on my wrist. It did not hurt, but it did concern me. I learned I had a ganglion cyst. A Ganglion cyst — also known as a Bible cyst — is a tumor or swelling on the top of a joint or the covering of a tendon. It looks like a bony like bump on the hand or wrist. It may feel firm or spongy and is not harmful. In fact, my doctor told me not to worry about it, and that no treatment was necessary. They told me that if I did want it removed, they could remove it through surgery, but that it would probably come back. Bible cysts are very common in women, and usually occur on the back of the hand, at the wrist or even on the palm side of the hand. Other places they occur are on the outside of the knee or ankle or on the foot. The ganglion cyst got its nickname of “Bible cyst” because back in the old days, the cure for one was for the doctor to whack your wrist with a bible while you held your hand or wrist flat on a table. That cure is actually effective for the spongy ones, though I’d recommend you see your doctor if it worries you or is painful in any way. | |
