Ganglion Cyst
A ganglion cyst is a sac filled with a jellylike fluid that originates from a tendon sheath or joint capsule.
Ganglion cysts in the foot and ankle are pretty difficulty to treat. Sometime we can aspirate the ganglion like in the video below and it can offer a lot of relief from the pain and pressure from the cyst. However, there is a very high recurrence rate with just aspirating the mass.
Treatment For Ganglion Cyst
Treatment for Ganglion Cyst:
- If does not hurt nothing
- Prescription medication
- Aspiration like the video
- In some cases we surgically remove the ganglion but let people know this has a high recurrence rate even with surgery
