I am 4 days post-op and feeling like I'm recovering. I looked down at my hand and there was a lump.. it's not a bite, it's the opposite hand that my IV was in and it's not even red... just a lump.

It actually feels like a cyst because it's kinda hard.

I know there are things called Ganglion Cysts and this seems to fit all the symptoms.

It makes sense that I would have one-has this happened to anyone else?

Ganglion Cyst

This is the description given at WebMD...

I had one in my left wrist that I could see really well if I bent my hand down it would pop up and then sometimes I would move my hand the wrong way and get a sharp pain in my wrist, Doctor said the sharp pain was the cyst popping and draining out - then it would heal and come back

Over time it started giving my pain and weakness in my wrist and hand so I went to the doctor and they would give me a cortisone shot that would get rid of it for a while then it would come back so I finally went to a hand doctor and had surgery to take it out - never had a problem since :biggrin2:

I had one on my left wrist in college. I went to the infirmary and the Dr. there took a huge medical book and slammed it down on it. It burst and never came back. LOL
