   So, I have had one on my wrist for over a year. It's about the size of an average marble. At first, I was happy, thinking to myself "Cool! Something to pop!" but after 5 or 6 drainings, it just keeps coming back.

   Anyone have any suggestions on how I might get rid of this? I can't afford what would be considered "elective surgery" so that's out. I've noticed in other ganglion surgeries that the cyst wall seems to be more well-connected to the surrounding tissue. At least, that's what it looks like, so making a bigger hole and trying to squeeze out the entire package seems risky.

   Again, any suggestions?

   Blueboy, I'm sorry , I don't have an answer for you. I know that I had one on my right hand when I was 12, had it removed by a Dr. in the hospital and it still came back! I have another one on top of my right foot and a Dr. gave me some meds and it went away. When I stopped taking the meds it came back, but, it did take about 6-8 months before it re appeared. Wish I had an answer for you. Good Luck

   Blueboy, unfortunately, as datentime experienced, even having it removed by a Dr. is no guarantee that it won't come back. Unless you can afford and or want to have the surgery, occasionally draining it yourself is about all you can do. I wish I had better news or some awesome home remedy! Sorry :)
