Could this be??

As I was rough housing my youngest boy T-Bone yesterday I felt a strange feeling in my wrist. It was my wrist with the cyst (sounds kinda Dr. Suessy huh). I looked down at my hand and the hard knot on it was gone. There was a small amount of swelling still there but it was alot smaller and It felt kind alot softer than before. It didn't really hurt and the stiffness was gone. Funny though, I did feel some discomfort on the top of my hand for a bit. Maybe the drainage went up into my hand and made it feel weird. (?) I've put an Ace bandage on it to help keep some pressure on it hoping to help drain it all out and maybe keep it from refilling.
Anyway it seems to have popped! I've read that sometimes this happens. I'm more than thrilled for now. I tried without success to schedule a surgery date with the doctors office because of the long holiday weekend. I really wanted to get it done as soon as possible because I'm starting school with Bubby this next week and it was really starting to hurt me. I had to call the doctor last week and ask for pain medication because the Tylenol was not cutting it for me (I couldn't take anything that would thin my blood out before the surgery). I was so disappointed when I found out that I had to call them back the next following week. I know that sometimes these cysts return but sometimes they don't. I hoping for the latter in my case. ")
For now I'm thanking God for his provision. I'm grateful for sure.

Great news. I have had these in the past too. Had a big one on my wrist bone - felt like bone too. Anyhoo it just went away ;) Glad yours did too.
