View allI have a ganglion cyst on my left hand and it's been causing me pain. I'm not sure whether to go for surgery or try the needle draining method. What are the pros and cons of each option and which one would you recommend for long-term relief?
For a ganglion cyst that causes problems, having a health care provider drain the cyst with a needle might be an option. So might removing the cyst surgically. But if there are no symptoms, no treatment is necessary. Often, the cysts grow and shrink.

My left collar bone sticks out way more than the right one, and my shoulders look uneven with the left one sitting higher. From the back, my posture seems tilted to the right, and I get pain on the right side of my back when I stand for too long. Can this be fixed with surgery or exercises to make my posture symmetrical? Are there any long-term side effects if I don't get it treated?
Postural asymmetry may improve with physiotherapy, core strengthening, and ergonomic correction. Surgery is considered only in severe structural deformities.
