I developed a ganglion in my wrist when I was 18 from Heavy weight training, then again when was 24 both times went back down. My mum said the cure wqs to hit it with a bible I didn’t like that idea
so left it.
Slowly over the past 10 years it got worse and worse, till I could hardly move my wrist so went to the doctor, he confirmed that yes the cure before was to hit with a bible, mine had grown so BIG, about 3cm, that the only cure was to have it surgically removed. It has been 7weeks after surgery, and my wrist is not a lot better, I have more movementin extrension, but still hurts and can’t load at all without pain. Thou the surgeon did say that it had grown so big that he had to scape it from the bone and move the tendons out of the way to get it out.

I had the same cysts and cured them by taking Vit E with selenium.
