I have a ganglion cyst in my left wrist
Yes, ganglion cysts are routinely removed surgically. Depending on location, this may be done either in a procedure room or in the operating room. Draining these cysts typically isn't done due to the very high rate of recurrence. Please check with your board-certified hand surgeon. READ MORE
How can I reduce my hand tremors?
Hand tremors may be a sign of a more neurological issue. I am unaware of high blood pressure directly causing hand tremors. I might ask my primary care physician to evaluate several common blood laboratory levels or even ask for a referral to a neurologist for evaluation. READ MORE
I am suffering from a hand pain due to sleeping on one side. What should I do?
There could be quite a few different things going on there, but I would recommend being promptly evaluated for carpal tunnel syndrome by a board-certified hand surgeon. CTS is very, very common, and my patients with CTS routinely report the exact same complaint. If CTS is present, a quick, non-stitch endoscopic procedure can permanently correct your problem.
