What is a ganglion?

A ganglion is a swelling that occurs around the tendons and joints, most commonly at the wrist, ankle, palms, and feet.

The story of Alena: Surgical removal of a ganglion was helpful

I had ganglions on both wrists. The left one was managed and has not been back for a year. On the right one, it came back, so I underwent surgery. Although the doctor from PRIMED Clinic, where I went, was calming me down, I was really afraid. In forums on the Internet, I read how severe the pain is, some people said they would not undergo it for the second time. My experience was the exact opposite.

The surgery took about twenty minutes, I only had local anesthesia. Even when my hand came to, I did not feel much pain. I was much more bothered by the plaster I had to wear. Since I am right-handed, it limited me a lot. It was worth to remove it.
