Ganglion cyst on wrist

[Neverlost99]

I just had a honker of a bump pop up near my wrist. I get some numbness when I ride and this seems to be a result of riding, as a repetitive stress.
I jumped on my analog upright bike and noticed how little stress it had compared to my Luna Eclipse.
According to the on line Mayo Clinic there really is t much you can do except ride less or change positions.
Any good home remedies?

I don’t know any home remedies, but I had one surgically removed from my wrist about 45 years ago. Ever since, I’ve had a scar that looks like I tried to commit suicide.

I had one removed from my finger because it was interferring (bumping it pain) while doing everyday chores.

Not that I recommend this, but it is a potential home remedy.

Many years ago (45ish) my mom had one on her wrist that was unsightly, but not really interfering with life. My youngest brother, mid teen body-builder type, suggest if they put a quarter on it and hit the quarter, it would probably go away. They did, it did, but brought my mom to tears in the aftermath.

The old remedy was to place your hand on a table and slap the cyst with a heavy book to rupture the cyst. But please don't take medical advice from me! I ride with Ergon GP2 handlebar grips. These have the short horns on the ends. That lets me rest my hands on top of the grip and lean them into the horns. That greatly reduces the hand and wrist fatigue! https://www.rei.com/product/884445/ergon-gp2-handlebar-grips

It's called a bible cyst: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=bible+cyst

Had a big one on my head, tried using a syringe to suck it out, didnt work finally had a surgeon cut it out. Had a three fer going that day had a funny mole blem on my face( had it forever
) and one on my leg, none were cancerous.
@ Jed, thats what my Mom called the one on my head, didn't swat it with a bible though already had had too many concussions, ice falls and even a split rim on my head, that one took 7 stitches, 7 is my lucky number had to get 7 stitches numerous times.

Replace the grips with ones that have horns.

yep my doc told me about them when he was lancing a huge one on my ankle. my wife gets one over and over on her wrist. it pops on its own then comes back

I've got one on my right palm between my thumb and index finger.
It doesn't hurt or bug me so I'm going to ignore it, and I just ordered these,..
(And I gotta stop with the death grip.)




I wiped out my skateboard about ten years ago and my elbow swelled up like a peach.
I stuck it with a turkey baster/injector needle to drain it.



It was all water and a bit of blood, but no puss, so it wasn't infected.
It healed up nicely.

Howdy,

Perhaps the suspension stem by Kinekt might help. (Link below ) It's not cheap, but they
make great products. I have two of their suspension seat posts and they work wonders.
My two cents...When it comes to our health and or safety it's not the time to 'cheap out'

Good luck,
John

I've had 2 of those. One on the back of my wrist (about half the size of a golf ball) and another on a finger tip (large enogh to keep me from forming a fist). It's nothing to mess with. Plan on seeing a hand specialist, and having the work (surgery) done correctly.

I grew one 10 cm x 1 cm over my right thumb joint when I was using shimano trigger shifters. Had it about 2 years. Changed to a sun twist shifter, it went away. Sun shifter wore out in a year, sram twist shifter lasts about 5 years.

Replace the grips with ones that have horns.

Right grip is a throttle so that won’t work, and climbing bars don’t fit.

You can get a set with a short right grip but maybe not on Amazon.
