My sister has a volar ganglion cyst on her left hand near the radial artery and it's causing her some pain. What's the usual cost for surgery to remove it and is it a complicated procedure?

Surgical removal of a volar ganglion cyst, especially near the radial artery, is generally considered a safe procedure, but it's not always necessary. The cost varies, but it can range from ‚Çπ10,000 to ‚Çπ30,000 or more in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon.

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?
yes surgery is advised.

I'm having severe pain in my right wrist when I twist it clockwise, especially right below the bone that sticks out. It gets really bad when I try to turn doorknobs. What kind of splint or cast should I be using if I want to fix this in a few weeks?
You may be experiencing a wrist sprain or strain. To help support and immobilize your wrist, a wrist splint would be beneficial in this case. You can use a wrist splint that is specifically designed to immobilize the wrist joint. Wear the wrist splint consistently, especially during activities that aggravate the pain, like turning door knobs. Additionally, you can also take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help alleviate the pain and reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
