Where's me ganglion gone?

[Dontwannabesick]

For 50 years I have had a ganglion on the inside of my right wrist. It has, over the years, resisted many well-meaning attempts to banish it with heavy books etc. Last night it disappeared and I am left with a soft swelling around twice the size, and, strangely just below that I can see my pulse pulsating. Answers on a postcard please. GCA, MTX, or Pred?

Pass....ask me one on sport!

Apparently about half of them do just disappear over the horizon all on their own!!!

It might be a good side effect of Prednisalone.

Mine disappeared after many years. They used to say bash it with the family bible.

Tried that, it hurts!

My grandmother used to hit hers with a small hammer. Amazing she did not break her wrist!

I had a historic stiff knee after two cartilage ops that I assumed was due to osteoarthritis. I found it hard to close the knee joint. That went away after a few months on Pred and now ( after Pred) I have full range of movement!
