Hi, the usual treatment of ganglion cyst includes Aspiration and steroid injection which alleviates 80% of ganglion cysts, but there is a high recurrence rate. Symptomatic cysts that do not respond to steroid injection can be excised, taking the entire stalk out otherwise they will reoccur.

Hi Zeena,  I had a ganglion on my wrist which the doctors refused to remove because it was too close to arteries.  I had it drained unsuccessfully.  I went and got acupunture treatment and it is gone and hasn't returned since and no more pain.  That was around 5 years ago.  Good Luck

Immobilization. Activity often causes the ganglion to increase in size. This is because activity increases pressure on nerves, causing pain. A wrist brace or splint may relieve symptoms, letting the ganglion decrease in size. As pain decreases, your doctor may prescribe exercises to strengthen the wrist and improve range of motion. Aspiration. If the ganglion causes a great deal of pain or severely limits activities, the fluid may be drained from it. This procedure is called "aspiration." The area around the ganglion cyst is numbed and the cyst is punctured with a needle so that the fluid drains away.
