BREAKING NEWS! Since publishing this video I have heard such good things from you about various methods that have worked for you. So I have published an update video to tell you about therm. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fxchozOgKGg.html
Castor oil pack! Years ago I had a very painful ganglion cyst removed from my left hand. Had it over 15 yrs and finally caved and did surgery. Now I have one on my right hand. Been applying a castor oil pack every night and after about a week to 10 days it’s shrunk dramatically. Seeing improvement everyday (been about 2 weeks). I use a small square of 100% organic cotton, soak it in castor oil and then hold it over the cyst with a bandaid and sleep with it. It’s been a miracle so far!
@AC-yb9ml Thank you so much for this! So please this is working for you and now, thanks to you taking the time to share your experience you have helped hundreds of other people struggling with these unsightly nuisances. Thanks again!
Yes, I confirm castor oil is working for me. Last winter I slipped on wet and muddy stairs in metro underground, but I managed to avoid possibly greater injury by supporting my body weight on my right hand. Although not broken my wrist must have suffered some minor internal injury, as not painful but visibly swallen Gangalion Cyst appeared few months later. Currently I am treating it with daily wrist and fingers gymnastics, warm baths and massage. It takes time, but I noticed improovement. Dull numbness in my fingers is gone.
Hello @topazlake85 That all sounds very painful. I pleased to hear you are on the mend. Good luck with the healing, take care and thank you for the comment.
Way back when, my daughter had this. The hospital consultant arranged for her to have a wrist brace to compress it and mentioned to massage it in the bath. It took time but worked and never came back! Now I have one and am trying the same approach.
Thats brilliant Julia - I mean that your daughter's never came back. So good to hear. I do hope the same happens with yours - they do seem to be such a nuisance for many people. Thank you so much for telling us your story. Much appreciated.
@@juliajacobs1848 I think the hot soaking maybe makes what is inside to soften and massaging when it is soft is really effect. I asked my doc to remove it 30 years ago and he said it would likely return. So I left it alone. It comes and goes, usually it is just annoying
I have a volar cyst which is located underneath the wrist I've had it for probably 25 years had it operated on twice and it kept coming back it does cause great pain in my wrist which leads up my arm. My last form of treatment was soaking with Castrol oil wraps. And this last treatment has been the best success with pain relief and shrinkage of the ganglion
@angeburse949 Welcome!. Oh my goodness! Firstly, so sorry you have suffered with this but thank you so much for telling us of your successful treatment! I am sure you will be helping many people (including me) by sharing this information. I appreciate your taking the time to tell us. Thanks again!
Hi @AngleoTsocoMusic. When I suggested this reason for my ganglion to my GP she immediately dismissed it. Thank you so much this! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
For those who have a bump on the back of the wrist, you may try the table edge method. First close the hand into a tight fist, bend the wrist to bulge the bump out, and quickly hit the bump against the table's edge several times until the bump is flatten or is no longer there. It is like doing kung-fu against the table's edge, but do not do it too hard. Good luck and I hope it will work for you.
Thank you for this amazing idea! I just tried it and after two gentle slaps against the edge of my wooden bar stool and it is gone!! Wow! This saved me hundreds of dollars at the doctor! ❤
Oh now that's interesting @harouachelly3098. I am looking into Castor oil at the moment ref. skincare. It never occurred to me to consider it helping here. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I just hit the one on my wrist against the door frame while I was watching this video and it flattened it on the first try. I wasnt going to do that because it hurts but I suddenly just felt like giving it a go. I've had it for about 3 years now I think. I didn't know what it was until a few days ago when I asked a doctor about it. Although I did think it might be a cyst of some sort, it was confusing because of how hard it was almost like cartilage or bone coming right off of the bone joint. It would swell up and hurt. I did massage and push on it the last couple nights to try to break it up. I applied some st johns wort oil I had made and also castor oil on it. The doctor told me I could try to hit it against something hard and also mentioned trying the castor oil. I will continue to massage it/ drain it to prevent it from coming back. Cheers!
Hello @twelevensies You are right. These cysts are so hard, it is confusing. It sounds as though you are on top of it. For some, they don't come back but for others it seems to be an ongoing condition and well worthwhile continuing to massage. Good luck and thank you for sharing your experience with us.
If the cyst is in the top of the hand near the wrist, using a heavy book to bang it does work. A friend had one and her doctor said she could try it. It took a lot to convince me to hit my friend with the book. I didn't hit hard enough the first time so had to do it again. Mind you I'm a small woman so do be careful if you try this. However, the good news is that it worked. That was about 8 years ago and it has not returned. Note: It was not immediately noticeable that it was going to work.
Hi Sandy - I have been loathed to suggest this method but sooo many people say it worked for them. Thank you for taking the time -I am sure your comment will help many people. Thanks again.
I've had one on my finger for around 10 years now and doctors said they won't remove it because it will grow back. It doesn't hurt unless I hit my finger on something, even lightly! OUCH! I just started putting castor oil on it last night after reading up about the benefits. Really hopeful!!
Hello @is8454 Try massaging your finger immediately after bathing or every now and then soak your hand in warm water first. This is a recommendation from a viewer for whom it worked. Consistency is key. Good luck and thank you for taking the time to comment.
I’m 55 and just got one, like you I’m not having a massive lump on my hand. Obviously, no pint going to the doctors so I’m keen to find out what you did. I have a dull ache too. But still want it gone! 👍
These things are a nuisance for sure. I would still mention to your doc when you go next. Gentle massage seems to be key but I do think its ongoing. Good luck with and let us know if you stumble across something effective. Thanks for sharing.
Everything we put on our skin topically is ingested thru the skin. Coconut oil is an anti inflammatoey so that with teatree or Frankincense oil is good. Arnica, apple cider vinegar, gentle massage will benefit x
OH MY GOSH! I'm so glad I saw your video! I just had my ganglion surgically removed and I think that that wrist thin brace may be the answer to my weak wrist I can't wait to get one do you put oils on it too? I will do weights too ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you!
Hello @gracielagreene9170 and welcome. I hope the wrist brace helps you. Yes - long term, if your wrists are weak, do try light exercises or weights to build strength. If I were you, even though your cyst has been removed I would still massage with castor oil every now and than to maybe help prevent its return. Castor oil will keep your hands looking great anyway so you have nothing to lose. Thank you for taking the time to comment and my very best wishes!
I smashed my with a hard cover book, fairly hard. It went away. But then a year later there it was again. Smashed it a few more times but this time it didn't respond! So here I am!!
Great video. MY SOLUTION: I had a ganglion cyst on the top of my right wrist for 16 years. I tried EVERYTHING except surgery: aspercreme, smashing it with a book, teas, turmeric, ginger, medicines, creams, oils, heat and pressure, etc I used to regularly visit a doctor and have it drained with a big needle, but it would always return in a day or two and in a week it would be back to the same size. One day I finally asked my friend to smash it with a big book. It worked!! but here's the thing: it might take a few attempts. I think mine was especially hard. It took 4 hits before it finally burst. It didn't hurt but he final whack was painful for a second or two but my cyst was gone! A big, wide, soft book like a telephone book would be perfect. Doesn't have to be hit too hard but firm. Much easier if you get someone else to do it. LOL So my cyst was gone for a good 6 months ... but now it's coming back :( ... but it's much much smaller than it was and I think I'll hit it again when it gets bigger. This has been the best solution and relief in 16 years. I really think if I keep hitting it once or twice a year it will return but it will be smaller and smaller and hopefully one day it won't return or be too small to notice. So don't hesitate - Just do it! Get a big, soft, firm book and a good friend and whack that pesky cyst until it's gone. It will probably hurt for a moment, but it's totally worth it. You won't regret it ; ) I was so happy all day when mine was finally gone.
Well if I am honest Peter - I don't really want to recommend whacking your cyst/hand with a heavy object - I would worry about damage to the rest of the hand! However, this is your experience and it worked for you - I am glad. Thank you for sharing.
I just did this with my phone after having it grow out of control on the bottom of my wrist within a month and compress my nerves which radiated into my shoulder. Know that it may come back…but WOW! It is currently gone, and so is the pain. Now I’m massaging it with castor oil and magnesium oil. I take hyaluronic acid and collagen daily but I think I acquired this after an especially stressful yoga session. I’ll try all of these tools to prevent it from returning. I love frankincense anyhow, so doubt it can hurt. Turmeric is amazing any way you look at it. 😊
Oddly enough @PandaA-cv3mm I believe mine appeared after a yoga session (although my GP said not) and I am hearing great things about castor oil. Thanks for sharing and good luck with it.
@@PandaA-cv3mm UPDATE: 2 weeks after my first post my cyst returned in a much smaller form than usual. I got my wife to whack it firmly with a small, thick soft book. Months later IT HAS NOT RETURNED! So I'm happy about that although I would not recommend hitting it with something hard like a smartphone LOL A thick, soft book would do the trick. Maybe even cover it with something soft like a towel first. Doesn't have to be struck too hard or painfully, just firmly. After a few attempts the sack might burst and your ganglion might not return. Good luck!
I have had one on my foot that showed up out of nowhere and has suffered for over a year with it. I am scheduled to have surgery and she wants to biopsy it, although I know benign it still is a bit scary.
Oh listen @songstress 1978 I was told that these things are very very rarely malignant. I am sure it is benign but I understand how scary it is for you. All the very best to you and please let us know the outcome!!
My 10 yr old has one on both feet close to the ankle. Makes certain weather nessacary boots or shoes hurt to wear. I think a pair of ski boots he thought looked cool but wouldn’t lace properly last winter caused them. I grew up in farm country and on humans n animals these always got drained/lanced. No one will do it here and by the time I found them calluses have formed so I don’t trust my skills to drain at home. Pediatrician is insistent it’ll just disappear on its own. Will try the castor oil and if he’s agreeable the smash or pressure method since it does cause discomfort and I’m sure it’ll lead to being constantly painful as they both get larger
Gosh that does sound painful. What an unfortunate place to get them. I would try the castor oil and massage after a warm bath for a few weeks before 'the bible bash'. I really don't like to suggest that but so many people have commented how it worked for them. You know they do sometimes just disappear but I know that isn't helpful. All the very best with the massage and castor oil.
Back in 2018 I did a yoga pose and it disappeared but currently searching for yoga poses for the wrist but the problem is I have a injured shoulder right now so I’m trying my best to
My last was horrible. I took ibuprofen, soaking hot water & Epsom. Salts. I messaged the lump off and on all-day, yesterday. I think the massage caused it to release. I just used hand lotion for the massage. I also wore a brace to immobilize it, when I was doing other stuff. It is a little stiff today, but it is gone now.
I used frankincense for the last time my ganglion flared up and I was surprised that it was effective for me. However, it is once again flaring up so I’m hopeful to try other remedies as well.
Hello there @331chicklet - thank you so much for this information. It seems the best we can hope for is brief relief - apparently even surgery isn't always permanent. However, I am interested to hear that Frankincense was useful for you. Thanks again for sharing.
Hi and thank you for sharing your tips. My 10 year old daughter was doing gymnastics and hurt her wrist, about a week later she had a huge lump on her wrist which I presume is ganglion cycst. I used Castor oil packs on her wrist and it went in a week, however now months after it's back and her hand hurts. So I'm doing Castor oil again, also massaging it with it, also bought her a wrist band and will add hyaluronic acid. My question is how much to give her? A standard dosage or more? Any advice would be much appreciated,i want to fix it for her so she can resume playing sports etc. Hugs, Maria
Hi Maria I am hearing such good things about castor oil - I am looking into it. I am sorry your daughter is struggling with this - I am also sorry that as your daughter is only 10 years old I am reluctant to suggest that she take HA. I am sure it would be fine but I do think you should check with your doctor (who would probably poo poo the idea of it helping anyway.) I know that doesn't help you. I think just keep up with castor oil packs - with any luck her young body will heal more easily than ours! Good luck with it and thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! I have a ganglion cyst ... strangely on my chest. Doctor just gave me antibiotics for 5 days ... The infection is gone but the cyst is still here! I'll try what you did and see how it goes. If it works, I'll comment back in a few weeks 😉
You are very welcome Diana. I wish you the best of luck and please do keep in touch with anything that works! These things are a nuisance that we can do without so any suggestions welcome. Thank you so much for your comment
Hello there. I am not an expert - I believe my own ganglion cyst possibly happened because of over extending my wrist during yoga. Whilst my cyst was painful I stopped doing the yoga position I believed started it. Other than that I continued with my usual routine. It might be worth seeing a physiotherapist to advise. Sorry not to be able to help further and good luck with it.
Hello there Alyssa - I mention Hyaluronic acid in the video and this is the link donotage.org/pure-hyaluronic-acid There is a list of all my supplements in the description section of my latest videos and I get all of them from Do not age. If you decide to try any of the supplements please remember to use HAPPYSTUFF to receive 10% discount. Let me know how you get on.
Sorry you are struggling with it. I get my hyaluronic acid here go.magik.ly/ml/1y1i2/ I believe there is a There is a 25% discount at the moment. Someone has already commented that Frankincense oil worked for them albeit temporarily but it is certainly worth trying. Good luck and thank you for taking the time to comment. Please come back and tell us how you get along.
@@HAPPYSTUFFANDFLUFF One question? Are you opening up the capsule and mixing the liquid with Frankincense oil or applying it separately? Thank You for your response. If there’s a will then there’s a way! So glad you’re adventurous 😊
@@almabayomi8065 When using frankincense the suggestion is to mix it with olive oil (or coconut oil) which is carrier oil that allows you to massage it in your bump. If you want to try my recipe using Hyaluronic acid I use the hyaluronic acid from the ordinary and I have left a link in my reply above. I also take Hyaluronic acid internally as part of my anti aging regime and you can watch that video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5CLgdA-Xs8k.html
Hell there and welcome. I do hope it helps. Be sure to read the comments for further suggestions from viewers who have tried other successful remedies and good luck!
Hello @ruchjen9711 and welcome. I continued yoga but I modified the poses and used the wrist brace mentioned in the video - this ensured I did not over extend my wrist.
I have one little in my finger I popped and drained couple times I'm rest for a week or 2 but then come back again but I don't have idea this exists but it's painful but I wanna try all I letting you know
I can imagine that is painful Yolanda! I have heard that draining often doesn't work.. I would check it with your GP/doctor just in case but otherwise try regular massage. Thank you so much for your comment ang - good luck!
You know I think these things can appear anywhere! Certainly on the ankles too. More commonly on the hand and wrist I think. I would certainly mention it to your care giver - I suspect treatment is the same but it is worth checking it out. Good luck and thanks for sharing
Hi madam.... Recently I got numbness on my right hand... I got the report of scanning that I had a ganglion cyst in radial nerve and ulnar nerve inbetween about 0.7*0.32cm.... Can I go for surgery....please suggest...
Hello there - yes surgery is sometimes possible, ( although it seems not always a long term solution.) It is a nuisance, for sure. Please chat through the options with your doctor. They would be the best to talk to you about surgery. Good luck and thank you for sharing your situation.
That is a good question @jebamaiaignanadeepa I am not sure of the answer. I think sometimes they can remain for years and other times they can just disappear. I didn't want to leave it to chance so did what I could to help it go away :)
Hi, my sister have volar cyst it’s been 3 years it’s not going…. Idk what to do.. 😢 she had before too …like 12 13 years ago but it was on the other side on hand and it gone automatically.. but the doctor gave some tube to apply.. we lived in Saudi Arabia now we are back in our country .. but we don’t remember the tube now.. please give some suggestions what we should do.. I can’t see my sis like this.. sometimes it hurts her a lot 😭
I have one near the end of my finger I used to do my own surgery, sterilize the area, put a needle to the hot flame and extract the clear joint fluid. I even went into a dermatologist and had it burned and that didn’t stop it. Eventually it went away, my finger healed up, and you would’ve never known anything happened but about two years later, it came back kind of frustrating and not pleasant to have to drain it
My @BeardedGospel that's a very brave thing to do to yourself! I think frustrating is the word. It seems ongoing over time no matter what you do. So far so good for me and here's hoping for you too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and all the very best for the new year!
I had one my middle finger arthritic joint. Doctor said it needed into be cut out. I decided to put it off. In the meantime I started using my cold laser pen on it and it slowly dissolved. A couple of years later it started coming back but before it got too big I messaged it to get the fluid out. It has been gone a couple of years. Then yesterday I discovered another one on the palm of the same hand.
I have one of this symptoms i think this is volar cyst on my left hand underneath can i do this for exercise my hand to remove increasing the size of my cyst
Hi there I am afraid I haven't heard of a volar cyst - I would always check with your doctor first before starting any kind of 'home remedies'. I wish you luck with it.
I also have a volar cyst. I've had it operated on twice keeps coming back. My last method of treatment was soaking with castor oil and it has brought me the most relief and shrinkage of the ganglion cyst
