Ganglion Cyst and the Bible Bumps

I have seen it in my first year of Graduation, a small marble sized thing inside the skin near my right wrist, Though it never hurt me, i was very worried about that.I thought i should go consult a doctor regarding this and did that.

Doctor after touching the swelling, said it is ganglion and not to worry about that.It comes for those who does repeated thing like gymnastics.Golf players, gym trainers, computer professionals often get this thing.But no idea why did it come for me.

When we asked the reason for this ganglion cyst.He said , when we do more work with that particular hand , a liquid will come and accumulate at the point of joint just above the wrist.He suggested to undergo a surgery.As my mother is very very health conscious about our family , she agreed on the spot to fix a date for surgery.

That Doctor told chances of recurrence are there at about 30
% .we thought positively and i had surgery at the end of my First year.

I was happy that the swelling which appeared awkward is no more there, but as they cut my skin while surgery i have marks at that place even now.

But the bad news is that now i have that cyst, the “ganglion cyst” appeared again in my final year of graduation.I remember the words said my doctor that this may come again and it DID.

i was’nt so aware of this internet revolution of information at that time.Recently i googled out about this and found that the chances of recurrence is 60%.

So my recomendation to those who got this ganglion is not to undergo any surgery,I had come across some info on net that a therapy called “Bible Bumps”, where it says to hit on the  cyst with a hard and big book so that it ruptures and drain into the surrounding tissues.This therapy was named so as this is done with bible in those days.

I also seen a post written by Robyn Stubbs in which he did implement this Bible Bumps and got succeeded.

So I am thinking to do that, but i am so afraid!!!!

I have also seen another unbelievable treatment which says that we can get rid of that if we eat two spoons of special sand perday,in 3 weeks time.But it is so costly and i guess that is a fraud .:(
