Yes. My father had a golfball sized ganglion cyst on the top/outer side of his foot. It was eventually removed with surgery. The cyst itself was not painful, nor did it limit his movements in any way.

What is tendon cyst?

A tendon cyst is actually called a ganglion cyst (also known as a bible bump). It is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. The size of the cyst can vary over time. It is most frequently located around the wrist and on the fingers.


The development of swelling on the outer surface of the wrist is?

likely due to inflammation or injury in the area, such as from repetitive motion strain, arthritis, or trauma. It is important to rest the wrist, apply ice to reduce swelling, and seek medical attention if the swelling persists or is accompanied by severe pain or restricted movement.


Incisions for volar ganglion cyst removal?

The incision for volar ganglion cyst removal is typically made on the palm side of the hand, near the base of the affected finger or wrist. The size of the incision will depend on the size and location of the cyst. The goal is to remove the cyst while minimizing scarring and preserving the surrounding tissues.


What is ganglion cyst removal?

If a ganglion does not cause symptoms it is best just to leave it alone. However, many people prefer to be rid of them. The best possible method of removing it is through homeopathy. Ask a homeopathist to give you a mixture of Ruta-Graveolens . Homeopathy doesn't work for everyone, you have to be someone who is willing to try it. The pain will generally subside after two days and the cyst will usually disappear after 3 days. Homeopathy works at the source of the problem and the cyst is said to never return. Many people have heard of the traditional cure. That is, to smash them with a heavy book (tradition holds it to be the family bible). This bursts the cyst under the skin. The fluid is then absorbed into the bloodstream. In some people this works well, but there is a high chance of it recurring as the walls of the cyst can reform. However, it is an instant cure for some. Sometimes it is possible to suck out the fluid with a needle and syringe. If the jelly-like fluid is very thick this may not work. Also, if it does work, there is a chance that the cyst will recur as the wall of the cyst is not removed, and the fluid may form again to refill the ganglion. However, in some people it cures the problem. As it is quite easy for a doctor to do, it is often attempted first. Surgical removal of the ganglion is the last resort that one should consider. This is a relatively minor operation. Rarely, after a ganglion is removed, one recurs again at the same site. However, after having it surgically removed a recurrence is much less likely to occur.

Are there other cysts other than ganglion in the foot?
