This thing in my wrist has been bothering me. They say it's a ganglion cyst, and it's fairly common.
But my question is, will they let me keep in a jar after they remove it? Probably not, but I can always hope.

How did you get this thing? I got a lump of tough skin the size of a marble on my wrist from when I got hit by a ball 2 years ago.

No one knows what triggers the formation of a ganglion. Women are more likely to be affected than men, and ganglions are common among gymnasts, who repeatedly apply stress to the wrist. Because the fluid-filled sac puts pressure on the nerves that pass through the joint, some ganglion cysts may be painful. Large ganglions, even if they are not painful, are unattractive. Smaller ganglions that remain hidden under the skin (occult ganglions) may be quite painful.

She had one in her lower back area
Inner thigh, and an ovarian cyst( not dangerous, just needs to stay on birth control to control it)
Hope everything turns out fine man.
