Next I tried the pressure idea. This has been the most successful so far. I have used a ordinary bandage over it to protect it from getting bumped. I used an Emu blended moisturizing cream to put on the cyst before bandage is applied. Kept it on for 3 days, and the cyst slowly shrank to almost flat. I think it needs to stay moist to avoid drying out and cracking open and starting a new cyst over.
Would like to work on getting at the root of the cyst. But at least I have worked out a technique to keep this in check. Thank you all for posting your solutions to this bothersome bump!!! Love Earth Clinic.

A friend told me about the book bashing treatment, which I rejected out of hand. But after a few hours, I decided to try pressure on the cyst, I. e., a less extreme version of book smashing. The first time I applied pressure with my left thumb I heard something crunching. Applied pressure again, heard crunching again, and whoopee! The cyst was gone, no residual pain or impaired movement.

No pain or anything and it's been a week so far and my wrist is fine - I will say though I woke up with a slightly (but definitely visibly) swollen hand (probably due to the lack of blood flow or something I'm not sure) and it lasted until about 2-3 hours after I woke up but by lunch all back to normal!

I had a big cyst on my wrist for a year or more. it was like another knuckle. I read on this site that frankenscence oil would help, and I was applying it fairly regularly for a week or so, then I dropped off as it was unclear if it was working.
A few nights ago my cyst was bothering me more than usual. Sometimes I press on it, hoping that it will surprise me and pop, even though that was a bit scary.
But this time I kind of pulled it to the side. I felt a slight click and watched with my jaw dropped wide as it slowly disappeared. It's gone!

On finding the pressure point, use your thumb between the fingers on palm side and work up them quarter inch at a time. Also try this: sitting on your couch take your hand and flare out the thumb using different angles to press against the cushion... you are stretching the muscles to see if anthing moves.
You are looking for a sore point; I call it the "ouch" point. That is what you massage and in time the lossened up structure may shift. If that is the source of the problem the cyst will recede by the next day.
Keep repeating until the cyst is gone and the "structure" is back to normal. I've noticed hand issues are common with folks who do a lot of gardening/ boxing on a heavy bag without wraps/ tennis/ golf etc. I think I read there are over fifty bones in the hand so anything out can cause a problem. Remember what I said about the cyst I had between my fingers: Consider using DMSO as an anti inflamatory if the "hand/ pressure point" method doesn't work.

The next morning to my amazement the size of the cyst had diminished by about one third in size! That night I repeated the pressure method where the pain was centered... Between the big tow and second toe... but up the foot...deep into the foot. The next day the cyst was half the size as before I'd started. The third day, an amazing thing happened. As I did my usual "press" with my foot crossed over my right knee, and using my right hand with thumb below the big toe and forefinger pressing on top between the big toe and second toe, suddenly, the structure "clicked" as if clicking back in place! I gently massaged the left foot. No pain or soreness at all. The next morning the entire cyst was GONE. From then on, I occasionally repeat the technique...pushing between the toes and gently separating the big toe deep and high in the foot from the second toe. And on occasion, it will "click" back. That was eight years ago. The cyst has never come back. I just wonder if many of the cysts that arise are structurally instigated cysts that can be "manipulated" such that the structure, whether it be hand or foot etc using a method I describe herein might reset the structure allowing proper drainage. Also, it could be that some "cysts" described in this section are not caused by the "structure" problem the orthopedic surgeon explained to me.
Once I had a growth on my hand coming out of the inside of the palm, between the little finger and fourth finger. That one, unlike the one on my foot was hard.The ganglion cyst on my foot was soft. The one on my hand I do not believe could be described as a ganglion cyst. I used DMSO, the solvent and anti oxidant, applied with a white paper towel and left as a poultice for thirty minutes. Two applications were sufficient to make the cyst disappear. Dilute the DMSO with an equal amount of purified water or the DMSO will "pucker" the skin. The pucker will go away' in a few hours but it will scare you. To make sure the cyst was not caused by an infection I'd use as the "dilution" not just any water, but colloidal silver. The silver will kill any infection. That hard cyst on my hand came back in the exact place six months later and the second time I did use the DMSO plus the colloidal silver as a "dilution" and again used a white pater towel with about twenty drops of DMSO and twenty drops of colloidal silver. That was ten years ago. That hand cyst has never returned. The DMSO is good for stiff hands (arthritic hands and fingers, by the way). Just a cap full rubbed into the hands like a lotion making sure joints of both hands are covered... all joints and poof...hands as good as new. Every year or so I feel that stiffness and I pull out my DMSO.
