How To Deal With A Ganglion Cyst

Have you ever had a cyst that wasn’t painful? If you have experienced one on your hands, wrist, ankle, or foot, it most likely is a Ganglion cyst. Ganglion cysts are small, round, and filled with a jelly-like fluid. In many cases, these cysts go away if there are no symptoms. If it starts causing you problems, you may need medical attention. If you are concerned about a cyst and are looking for a Podiatrist in Great Neck, contact PRINE Health today and schedule your appointment!

What Is A Ganglion Cyst?

Many individuals are unaware of how Ganglion Cysts develop; it typically occurs when the tissue surrounding the joint or tendon bulges out of place. They can sometimes be painful if pressed on a nearby nerve, and their location can affect joint movement. They mostly occur in women between the ages of 20 and 40 or people who have Osteoarthritis in their finger joints. In the past, if you have had injuries to your joints or tendons, you are more likely to develop Ganglion Cysts. If you are looking for a Podiatrist in Great Neck, PRINE Health can help!

At Home Remedies
To relieve the pain, take ibuprofen or Aleve.
Modify your shoelaces to relieve tightness and pain from the Ganglion Cysts.
Do not "thump" the cyst with a heavy object.
Do not try to pop the cyst with a needle. It will not work and can lead to infection.

Treatment

A Ganglion Cyst diagnosis can be confirmed by Aspiration, a process in which the doctor uses a needle and syringe to draw out the fluid. It is important to immobilize the cyst with a brace or splint because activity can make it grow larger. The Aspiration procedure may cause the cyst to go away. If none of these approaches work, then you may need surgery to remove it. Even after all these remedies, the cyst can still recur in the future. It is smart to keep an eye out for this condition and try to prevent it.

Meet The Providers

Patient Experience

As a patient of Dr. David Sands for over 15 years. He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and uses the latest technology when treating his patients, something that other doctors are not. I highly recommend him if you have issues with your feet.

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.

Melissa K.

Dr. Sands is an outstanding Podiatrist. He is professional, courteous, a gentleman and extremely interested in the health of his patients. David is most accommodating and doesn't make patients wait a long time to be seen. His office staff is equally as polite and welcoming and they all run a 5 Star practice.

My son had an ingrown toenail and we needed an urgent appointment. We were seen on the same day. The receptionists were very welcoming and friendly and we saw the doctor within a few minutes. The doctor was friendly, competent, diagnosed the problem correctly, and operated very diligently. Extremely pleased and highly recommended.
