I had a ganglion....?!
Question: i had a ganglion?(im pretty sure thats what it was) for about 1 1/2 months, i went to the school nurse and she told me what it was and that it was harmless unless it started hurting. that i should go to the dr. just to make sure it wasnt anything serious and this was about 3 weeks after i noticed it..my mom was gonna take me to the dr. but she wanted to wait till the christmas vacation so i didnt miss school. she didnt take me though but i noticed this past week it was going away it didnt take very long for it to also..but my question is what are the chances it comes back? because i know there is a sac or something in my skin that held the liquid and if it went away by itself then the sac must still be there right? so what are the chances it comes back?
heres a link to a picture i found on the internet to show where i had it (tell me if link dont work)

My friend had a ganglion on her wrist. She named it Carl.
Anyways, I believe that it is a single or bunch of nerve (endings?). She is supposed to get rid of it by striking it sharply (IE smash it with a hardcover book) but that hurts more than the ganglion is a bother. She accidentally hit it very hard against a wall and it diminished, but came back in a few weeks.
