The Poojer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I think i am growing one, not sure where it came from, i havent hit my wrist recently..gonna go to the dr on thursday....are there any natural cures to get rid of these? i do not want anyone smashing my wrist to make it go away, like i read is one of the treatments..... They are also called "Bible Cysts." When I was getting mine treated, my doctor told me they use to smash a bible on them and they would go away..

Hazed and Amuzed Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 serious? doesnt it hurt? keep in mind i am not a brave man, and have a very low pain threshold She could take some pain so I couldn't tell you. I know I made her scream quite a few times but that's a different story... Honestly I think she said it hurt a bit but not too much. Chicks lie though so....

Beerball Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 serious? doesnt it hurt? keep in mind i am not a brave man, and have a very low pain threshold Yeah. I had one as a kid on my left wrist. Went to the Dr. and he took a book and gave it a wack. It went away no problem. It came back a couple times and I did the treatment myself. You can handle it!

I had one come up on my left wrist in June of 2004. It swelled up in a matter of days. It persisted until this past summer. It would cause pain from time to time, but it wasn't chronic pain. Do NOT smack it. Because it may be just a cyst...or it may be a radial aneurysm of the wrist, or something else. The physician that looked at mine sent me for an ultrasound test to see if it was an aneurysm. It wasn't - if it was it would have to have been surgically repaired. http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/TOPIC494.HTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah. I had one as a kid on my left wrist. Went to the Dr. and he took a book and gave it a wack. It went away no problem. It came back a couple times and I did the treatment myself. You can handle it! Same happened with my sister the ole book trick worked for her too.

A cyst on the wrist is worth two on the hand, but nothing if it's an aneurysm. Cincy is just trying to drive up health care costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
