10 Ganglion Cyst Symptoms
Symptom #1: Pain
Pain is a distressing feeling that is caused by damaging and intense stimuli. It can be described as an unpleasant experience that is both sensory and emotionally associated with potential tissue damage. Pain causes the individual to withdraw from the stimuli to protect themselves, allowing the body to heal and avoid similar experiences in the future. Pain usually resolves once the harmful stimuli has been removed.
Although most patients do not experience any pain in a ganglion cyst, pain can occur when the cyst has grown larger and starts compressing the surrounding areas along with the nerves. Ganglion cysts that cause pain or affect the nerve should be removed through aspiration or surgery.
