Answer 2

I had a ganglion cyst for years. It came for a week or so + went away for a month or so. I got it from picking up a heavy box wrong. It was on the inside of my wrist right next to the big vein or artery that sticks out. It's a fluid filled thing that I used to smash on the kitchen counter to break it up + get rid of it til it flared up again. It's sounds stupid, but my Dr at the time told me that an old wives tale was to hit it with a book and pop it. After I finally got used to smashing it, it was nothing. Right after you hit it, you can see it flatten right out. I had one of my Dr's do me a favor + drain it once with a little needle- both were instant relief. Mine was about the size of a very small olive. I don't think it's been back for about 10 years now. Make sure by asking + reading about it that it's really what you have and try the smashing thing.
