  Symptoms of Ganglion Cyst

When it comes to identifying a ganglion cyst, there are several signs and symptoms to look out for:

• Localised swellings that might be visibly noticeable

• Pain in the area where the cyst has formed

• Tingling sensation if the cyst presses on nerves

• Numbness or muscle weakness due to pressure from the cyst

  Tests to Diagnose Ganglion Cyst
  

  There are several diagnostic tests that ganglion cyst doctors may recommend if they suspect a ganglion cyst:

• Physical Examination: This involves checking for the presence of a lump and assessing its size, shape, and consistency.

• Transillumination:

  A light is shone through the lump to determine if it is filled with fluid.

  Ganglion cysts usually allow light to pass through, indicating a fluid-filled sac.

• X-ray: This may be done to rule out arthritis or other bone conditions.

• MRI or Ultrasound: These imaging tests can provide detailed images of the cyst and surrounding structures.
