Repetitive Stress Cause for Ganglion Cysts Treatment of Sac Filled Pain
A ganglion cyst can occur as a result of repetitive stress. It is like a sac filled with thick, sticky, clear, colorless, jellylike substance. These cysts build up on top of a joint or tendon, oftentimes on the wrist. Its consistency may be hard or cushiony.
A ganglion cyst may show up suddenly or build up over time. It can get smaller or larger, and in some cases disappear all together.
You may not feel pain from a ganglion cyst, and only know its there because you can see it. Or you may feel a continuous aching pain, made worse with movement.
Since nearly half of all ganglion cysts disappear on their own, watch and wait is usually the initial course of treatment. A wrist brace may help relieve your symptoms while you give it the opportunity to resolve itself.
However, in severe cases, aspiration, using a needle to remove the cyst’s contents, or surgery may be necessary.
No reason to let your fitness regime suffer, brace it and go.
