I had one about 15 years ago and saw the doctor who said the remedy was to whack it with a bible.

I hit it on my desk a dozen times and it went!

My sister in law had one on her arm and I just whacked it with a book and it went. I have to say here, that I got great pleasure out of doing it:-) BC XX

Thanks. I have mine about 5 years but has got bigger last few months and is now pressing on a nerve, aches every day.

Lots of people have offered to give it a whack, but I don't want a fractured wrist!

I've got one, had it for years, hasn't bothered me for years.

My MIL had one, she went to the Dr and he took out a big book,she thought he was going to look something up, but he just whacked her wrist with it that sorted it out.
Probably could not do that now as they would get done for asault lol.

BiL has loads but never bothered getting them removed as they dont seem to bother him, his are mainly on his forearms (well at least thats as far as I have seen lol)

I've got one on my wrist and am on the waiting list to have it removed.

Has anyone had this? Can anyone say how long they were off work after the operation and how it affected them? i.e. driving, using your wrist etc

Thanks for any info or tips,

Selena
