Dermatologist or hand surgeon?

Just an unrelated side note, did you know the "home remedy" for ganglion cyst is smash it with a book? Seriously! Ow! My partner offered to do that for me. No thank you!

I never in my life would have believed I'd meet a $3400 deductible. Before this year I wouldn't have even met a $500 deductible. It certainly puts things in perspective.

I've had a ganglion cyst in my wrist since I was a teenager, my doc told me the same thing about using a book... really not something you should tell a teenager. BTW, it didn't work.

I'm sorry, I know it's not funny, but I did have to laugh at the absurdity of a doc telling a teen that and of course a teenager would have to try it. There's no way I could willingly hit it hard enough to pop it.

It totally cracks me up in retrospect, my friends and I in the lunchroom in high school, a big old history text book, WHAM "did it pop" no... lets try again. God were were so stupid!! LOL

One of my friends had a ganglion cyst surgically removed from her wrist. It was bugging her - and she was glad she had it done! Good luck with the surgeon!
