Ganglion Cyst
Bursitis and ganglion cysts are similar, but not identical. Bursitis comes about from chronic, repeated pressure or trauma to mainly a joint, such as an elbow or knee. Because the trauma is being repeated, redness and inflammation usually follow. A ganglion cyst usually comes from a single incident, where the tendon or tendon sheath becomes injured.
Surgery is considered the best treatment option for those with painful ganglion cysts or cysts which interfere with the function of the wrist. Successful, permanent removal of ganglion cysts involves the removal of the cyst, its pedicle, and the margin of the joint capsule or tendon sheath where the pedicle attaches.
While ganglion cysts are a type of tumor, these growths arent cancerous or life-threatening. However, they can cause significant pain and discomfort and interfere with joint movement. And, since they can be up to an inch in diameter, some people find them visually unsightly.
