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.

Symptoms:

  • a lump on the foot or ankle
  • tingling or burning in the area of the lump
  • dull pain if pressing on tendon or joint

 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  

Dr. Henne Explains:

Tim sm"Ganglion cysts are something we see often in the office.  We can help make the patient feel better by aspirating the cyst but always let patients know this can recur."
