WHAT ARE GANGLION CYSTS?

Ganglion cysts are noncancerous, fluid-filled lumps that commonly develop along the tendons or joints of the wrists or hands but can also occur in the ankles or feet. They can vary in size and may cause pain or discomfort, especially when pressing on a nerve. If you are experiencing symptoms of a ganglion cyst, it’s essential to know that there are effective treatment options available, including cyst aspiration and cortisone injections offered by specialised clinics like London Bridge Regen Clinic.

SYMPTOMS OF GANGLION CYSTS

The most common symptoms of ganglion cysts include:

  1. A visible lump: Ganglion cysts appear as round or oval lumps under the skin, which may be soft or firm to the touch.
  2. Pain or discomfort: While some ganglion cysts are painless, others may cause pain or discomfort, particularly when the cyst presses on a nerve or when the affected joint is in motion.
  3. Tingling or numbness: If the cyst is pressing on a nerve, you may experience tingling or numbness in the affected area.
  4. Weakness: In some cases, ganglion cysts can cause weakness in the affected joint or limb.

 

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

TREATMENT FOR GANGLION CYSTS

At London Bridge Regen Clinic, we offer a two-step treatment approach for ganglion cysts:

  1. Cyst aspiration: The first step involves using a fine needle to drain the fluid from the ganglion cyst. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
  2. Cortisone injection: After the cyst has been aspirated, a cortisone injection is administered into the affected area. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that helps to reduce inflammation, pain, and the likelihood of the cyst recurring.

YOUR SIMPLE 4 STEP JOURNEY

Step 1. Free Intial consultation

London Bridge Regenerative clinic gives every patient a free consultation with one of our injecting practitioners.  This includes a free ultrasound scan if required.

There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss your issue in detail and the benefits and risks of the procedure.

STEP 2. PHYSICAL EXAM AND ULTRASOUND

We will perform palpation and orthopaedic tests to help confirm your diagnosis.  If required we may also perform a diagnostic ultrasound scan to assist in visualising the issue.  We may also refer you for an X-ray or MRI, depending on the examination findings.

We will allow time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.  We make sure you understand the advantages and risks with the procedure before going ahead.

STEP 3. Injection procedure

You’ll be given individual pre-injection advice to reduce your chance of bleeding or infection and support your recovery and aid healing

It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It’s also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after the procedure because they can disrupt the healing process.

A local anaesthetic is only needed for Cortisone, Prolotherapy, Prolozone, and Arthrosamid injections.

Arthrosamid also requires an antibiotic, which must be taken 2 hours before the procedure.

STEP 4: RECOVERY AND FOLLOW UP

Following the procedure, most individuals can return home and resume their normal activities. Our clinical team will be available to offer water and provide guidance on post-injection care.

For the next 48 hours, it’s advisable to refrain from strenuous activities and alcohol consumption. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t notice immediate effects; the duration until you experience a perceptible change depends on the specific injection administered.

A follow-up appointment or phone consultation will be scheduled after the course of treatment to review the progress.

INJECTION TREATMENT OVERVIEW

At London Bridge Regen Clinic, our experienced healthcare professionals use ultrasound guidance to ensure precise aspiration of the cyst and delivery of the cortisone, maximising the treatment’s effectiveness.

If you are struggling with the symptoms of a ganglion cyst, we encourage you to explore the benefits of cyst aspiration and cortisone injections. To learn more about our services or to schedule a consultation, please book a free consultation through our website or complete the contact form on our contact page. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and help you take the first step towards finding relief from your ganglion cyst symptoms.

The combination of cyst aspiration and cortisone injections offers several benefits for patients with ganglion cysts:

  1. Minimally invasive: This treatment approach is minimally invasive, requiring no surgery or lengthy recovery periods.
  2. Pain relief: Aspirating the cyst and injecting cortisone can provide significant pain relief and reduce discomfort associated with ganglion cysts.
  3. Reduced inflammation: Cortisone helps to reduce inflammation in the affected area, which can help to prevent the cyst from recurring.
  4. Quick recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days of the procedure, with only minor restrictions.


While cyst aspiration and cortisone injections are effective for many patients, in some cases, the ganglion cyst may recur. If this happens, additional treatments or surgical removal of the cyst may be considered.
