Question:

I have a Ganglion Cyst on the inside of my left wrist, and I'm considering surgery to have it remeved. My Doctor is sending me for an ultrasound on my wrist which is already costing me $190.00 before the medicare rebate. Does anyone know the approx costs of getting this surgery done? I'm in Australia and have not taken out private health cover.

Thank you everyone who answered. Today I have some goon news - I have been massaging my wrist with reasonably frim pressure for a few days and when I pressed the lump today it must have been enough to 'pop' it. I felt no pain, it just seemed to deflated when I pressed it. I have been told to bandage it at night and try not to use my left hand when possible and have been put on anti-inflamitory medications for a few days. The pain is now gone and the tingling has subsided although I was told it may still linger for a few days. Again than you for all your answers.


Answers:

I don't know what medical school would teach you the old bible fix, but it is far outdated now. There are many simple massage techniques that can be used to slowly rub the cyst out with time, many of which have been highly effective within days. The book trick has "cured" many ganglion cysts... as well it has broken many wrists and caused various other problems. There is no medically correct way to remove a cyst with a book and I recommend you look up the simple massage techniques that are readily available online and don't cause permanent damage.
