The down side is that you would have to relearn your piano playing. The upside, you could be the fastest piano player in the world. You might make Franz Liszt look like Victor Borge! If you catch my drift. Remember, in Chinese, the world for "crisis" is the same as the word for "opportunity". But the word for "ganglion cyst" is the same as the word for "get a job as a producer". OR Remember, if you playing is a little weird, T. Monk used to say: "There are two kinds of wrong notes, ones that sound good and WRONG NOTES." I'm sure you'll be arpeggiating up a storm in no time.

(I earn my living as a piano teacher.) I too have a ganglion cyst on my wrist which has been growing and changing for the past few months. Monday night was hell—I was afraid that perhaps my career was over. To make a long story short, I've made an incredible turnaround in the past two days. I don't know if our cysts stem from the same cause—mine is a volar cyst, on the underside of my wrist— but I seem to have discovered how to make mine soften and begin to shrink. My nagging pain is completely gone. (The cyst had been crowding a nerve.) I'd rather talk with you on the phone than write a long email. So if you're interested, send me an email and I'll give you my phone number. I live in L.A. Bruce Michael, I too am a pianist. (I earn my living as a piano teacher.)

Believe it or not, I'm not thrilled with the idea of smashing my hand with a heavy object. Seems kind of like dousing your eye in bleach to get out some dirt. Yeah, they call it the bible remedy.

Breaks it up and it's absorbed by the body...I had a small one on my wrist and my mom said to just hit it with a book. I didn't believe it either till she showed me a medical text book. Wikipedia lists the same... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst Worked for me but your hands are kinda important so I'd say go with what the doc tells you. A friend just had a very large one removed from the top of his foot. Other than getting cut open it was not that big of a deal. Hope yours works out.

I'll tell you the truth, when I read that, even though I know what they are, I still pictured something out of Star Wars. Something in Jabba the Hutt's lair. I wish you the best of luck it though. I know how important your fingers are, so I will be praying for a less than lengthy recovery. A “ganglion cycst”, eh?
