Wrist Problems
-
I keep getting a ganglion on my left wrist every few weeks :( I keep smashing it with a book and it goes down for a while, but then a few weeks later it's back up again. It's really annoying cos when it's there I can't do handtands or anything. So my training is limited to when the ganglion isn't there. :/ I was just wondering if any of you guys have the same problem? And if you do, how does it affect your training and how do you deal with it??

Ganglion Cyst Treatment
Self-Care at Home
In the past, home care has included topical plaster, heat, and various poultices. It even extended to use of a heavy book to physically smash the cyst (sometimes this is called "Bible therapy"). These forms of treatment are no longer suggested, however, because they have not been shown to keep the ganglion cysts from returning and could, in fact, cause further injury. -
