Yes, but possibly not as bad as the constant pain of an inflamed ganglion cyst in a problematic location.

I had a ganglion cyst excised from the dorsal region of my right wrist by an orthopedic surgeon in 2009. They kept me awake but sedated for the surgery and the surgery itself did not hurt at all. It only took about 15 minutes to complete the actual excision. I was quite uncomfortable for the first three days, but improved rapidly. I had the cyst drained twice but it always came back, so I had the surgery. At my 7 day followup appointment, I had only some stiffness and a warm feeling in the incision. By two months, I had full mobility back with some gentle stretching of the wrist, arm and fingers. I never needed the physical therapy that was offered. I would make the same decision again to have the surgery because it stopped the pain.
