Treating And Managing Ganglion Cysts

Pain Relief Medication

When a ganglion cyst puts pressure on a nerve, pain may become an ongoing problem. This pain may be characterized as a chronic, persistent ache that may be exacerbated by repetitive motion or trauma. In addition to temporary splinting to reduce the discomfort, pain relief medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be used as directed by a doctor. A ganglion cyst on the outer part of the wrist often causes more pain than one in the inner wrist area due to the trauma of constantly flexing the wrist joint in ways that put stress on the outer hand area. If the pain becomes a long-term problem without resolution, the cyst may need to be aspirated to relieve pressure on the nerve. As a last resort, doctors may recommend surgery to avoid long-term medication usage.
