Ganglion cysts can sometimes cause pain, tingling, and muscle weakness. They may also hinder joint movement. If your Ganglion cyst is affecting the quality of your life, our highly specialized NYC foot doctors are able to recommend tailored treatment options to shrink the cyst and alleviate any undesirable symptoms, getting you back to healthy and happy living.
A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on top of a joint, ligament, or tendon.
Visible lump, discomfort, pain, and/or difficulty walking or wearing shoes
If the cyst is bothersome, it can either be drained in the office or removed surgically.
Depending on the size of the cyst and the severity of the symptoms, the cyst can be drained in the office. With this method of treatment, there is a high chance that the cyst will re-form. If the cyst keeps coming back, or if it keeps getting larger and more painful, surgery may be needed to remove it.
If surgery is required for removal of the ganglion cyst, the surgery is performed in an outpatint setting, which means that you can go home after the surgery is over. Normal activity can be resumed 4-6 weeks after surgery.
