10 Ganglion Cyst Symptoms
Symptom #3: Paresthesia
Paresthesia refers to the uncomfortable sensation described as a prickling, tingling, numbness, or burning sensation on the skin, despite no apparent physical cause. Paresthesia can be chronic or transient and can be caused by various causes.
Paresthesia can occur on any part of the body but most commonly involves the extremities. The commonest paresthesia is often described as “pins and needles” or when a limb is thought to have “fallen asleep.” In a ganglion cyst, paresthesia occurs if the cyst compresses a nerve.
