Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has a cyst on his wrist that is quite painful. He has already had surgery, and they could not get it all because it was up against an artery. Is there some sort of treatment that we can do at home for it. I am interested in the poultices of years gone by.
Sounds to be ganglioncyst around wrist most likely, which is known for its re occurrence in majority of the cases. Re do surgery is must under general anesthesia, keeping in mind that it can present again and again as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
General & Family Physician
