Ganglion cysts arise as outpouchings from fluid filled areas such as the fluid within the small joints of the wrist, or fluid within the sheath that surrounds the wrist tendons. When the fluid, called synovial fluid, leaks out from these spaces, it can become a cystic structure.
i have a ganglion cyst in my wrist, i had pain in my wrist occasionally and it hurt to move or push down on my wrist. i then noticed a lump one day and found out it was a ganglion. my ganglion cyst only hurts ocassionalyy
The size of the cyst matters less than the symptoms it causes. Even small cysts can stretch the lining of the joint and cause pain or discomfort. There is no specific size that a cyst has to reach to have it removed.

Ganglia is another word for ganglion cyst..wrist cyst, bible cyst. It is the most common soft tissue mass of the hand. It is a fluid filled sac usually found at the top of the wrist. They think it is caused by an out-pouching of the wrist joint area..either from repetitive use or trauma..but most are not caused by anything in particular

Well, the information you provide is limited, but a common cause can be a Ganglion cyst. Go see your primary care doc or a hand surgeon to rule out other causes and to receive treatment. If it is a simple Ganglion cyst, it usually can be drained in the office.

No, it is not a "disease". You can't die from it, nor does it usually restrict activity. My cyst has been on my wrist for a few months now, & it doesn't hurt or anything. So, a cyst is really nothing to be afraid of unless you want to remove it for cosmetic reasons. I also had a friend who had a cyst on her wrist, and one day when she was lifting herself up into an attic her cyst popped. She said that she didn't even know it had popped until she looked at her wrist, she hadn't felt anything! So if a cyst does manage to "pop" on its own it won't be painful.
You might have a ganglion cyst.
