Hand osteoarthritis with mucous cysts

My mucous cyst was similar to yours in that it wasn't very painful but it would get inflamed and I hated the way it looked. I had it removed in 2018 and it has caused me a huge amount of nerve pain that radiates up my arm and the cyst has now come back. I wish I had done more research on the outcomes of this surgery and most of all I wish that I had gone to a board certified hand orthopedist but for some reason I had thought this wasn't that big of a deal and I was wrong.

Katrina, That is very concerning feedback. Thanks very much for sharing. I’m really sorry that happened to you. 🥵🥵🥵 I was going to proceed with getting it removed but now rethinking everything. If Mayo could see me about it, I may get a second opinion. My hand surgeon in Corpus Christi said my kind needed to be removed for sure. I didn’t see anything about future problems so that is shocking.
I heard about the slight possibility of it coming back but that is concerning too. I’m glad I joined this Mayo Connect yesterday. Your message alone was worth doing it. Good luck to you.
