I had one removed. I wish I had not. I hate the scar. I was told it was very important who did the surgery as hand surgery is very intricate. I don't recall having pain for a long period of time. The surgery was in 2002 so it's hard to remember.
I had a ganglion cyst on in my wrist which I got removed 5 weeks ago. It was very deep and larger than the surgereon expected. The scar is healing very well, but my wrist still hurts when I bend. This takes much longer than I thought :-(
Has anyone experienced the same? How long did it take you to get rid of all pain?
I had one a long time ago. Kept growing back until the third surgery. The third surgery went deep. Can't remember it too well but I'm pretty sure I had some pain for a couple of months.
I honesty hope it doesn’t come back. But there so many stories about it ...my doctor gave not too many instructions. He said I should give it time and stretch. If I want I can get PT. The scar looks pretty nice. It’s long but he cut in my “wrinkles” so I think as soon as it fades it will be gone.
Surprised how many people have these cysts. I thought it was just me ;-)

Went to the doctor yesterday. I have bad scaring and my scar seems very active. He said I need help and see a PT for my hand. The deep swelling he claims is normal too.
First appointment with „aggressive ROM“ excercises is today. I am nervous to read „aggressive“ on my prescription. LOL
