Hi Julia

Sorry to hear you are in so much pain with your wrist. Ganglions are benign swellings of synovial fluid, in your case escaping from the wrist joint by the sounds of it. Sometimes they do go away on their own, but when they get big and troublesome and start to press on surrounding tissue the only option seems to be surgical removal.

I don't expect A&E will be able to help, sounds like a Gp referral for investigation might be needed. Can you increase your painkillers to get you through the weekend? Such a bad time for things to go wrong . Thinking of you,

Hey Julia

Glad you did get a callback even though it was ineffective!

Make sure those peas aren't frozen!!! Wrap 'em up well before you plonk them on your wrist Maybe alternating with something warm might help the pain ( cold is usually to reduce inflammation although it could numb the pain too! ) Keep chucking down the pain killers too!

Having a lazy catch up type of weekend. Quite relaxing but must make tea next before boys appear looking hungry! Thank you for your good wishes. Take care Julia,

Thanks Lyn and Anthea

Many thanks for your kind thoughts, luckily to say the pain has now subsided and just left with a small lump, so I am very lucky !

Hope you have both had a good weekend.

Julia xx
