Has anyone had a ganglion cyst drained and if so, how long were you out of the water and did you feel stronger after?
I had ankle surgery in Nov to repair a sprained ankle. I went in for a routine follow-up on Monday and there was a bump that I thought was scar tissue. The doctor told me that he thinks it's a ganglion cyst and I'm pretty sure he's right. I've had 2 in the past (hand and wrist) but I wasn't swimming much at the time. Both were drained but came back shortly after and had to be removed through surgery. I'm swimming at Nats and I'm wondering if I should have this one drained since I feel like I've lost strength in my ankle as this thing is getting larger (you can see it!). This would probably be a temporary fix but I was hoping it would get me through Nats.
Opinions?
Yeah I want you to keep it too... I want my picture taken with it at Nats!!!
Gee, I have to keep it (and the pain) just for Rich to have his picture with it?!
It is more than a nuisance. It is hitting on the nerve and does cause pain at times. Especially during *** and I'm doing the 50 *** and 400 IM at Nats. Hopefully the adrenaline will get me through.
