Severe pain on the back of the hand. I had a ganglion cyst removal surgery at Hospital W.

After giving birth to my second child and about a year old, my hands hurt so much.

The second one has an fall sensor, so whenever he lies on the floor, he cries, and I always hold him.

Since I was the oldest, I took care of the first child and raised the second, which was really difficult.

I used my hands a lot all day and kept holding the child, so my hands and arms were very sore.

When I felt severe pain, my back of the hand was so sore that it was difficult to pick up objects and hard to hold chopsticks.

Oh!!

But at some point, I noticed a lump had formed on the back of my right hand.

But that lump kept getting bigger...

When I went to the orthopedic clinic near my house, they said it was a ganglion cyst.

My wrist pain was very severe, and my hip also grew larger, so I was told to go to a large hospital.

After 고민, I went to W Hospital, the most famous hospital in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

You evaluated the location, movement, and sensation of the lump on my wrist, and checked the internal condition with imaging tests such as ultrasound.

The lump was popped with a syringe at the local hospital, but it recurred again.

Since the cyst is large and causing severe pain, they suggested removing it through surgery.

​

Daegu W Hospital, where I had surgery, is the first specialized hand surgery hospital in the Daegu area. It is a renowned hospital capable of performing surgeries for hand numbness, arthritis, fractures, tumors, burns, wrist pain, trauma, congenital deformities, and also specializes in microsurgical reconstruction.

Someone with a lump that can be felt on the wrist and that seems to be gradually enlarging ✋

You know from experience. It was so painful that daily life was difficult.

I will talk about the ganglion cyst I experienced on my wrist.

Causes of wrist ganglion cyst

1️⃣ Wrist ganglion is a non-cancerous cyst that occurs in the wrist, also called a periarticular cyst of the wrist.

2️⃣ The exact cause is unclear, but it is believed to be related to trauma, overuse, inflammatory diseases, and other factors.

3. Repeated stimulation of blister membranes due to overuse causes excessive proliferation of fibrous tissue, leading to the formation of a lump.

The symptoms may include dorsum pain, tenderness, and swelling.
