Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Fern, Try alternating hot and cold - 10 minutes each (3 times) for an hour.. Got any BF & C? or MSM ? Take MSM 3 times a day, about 1000 mg each dose.. Got any cayenne salve? What you go on hand? Suziirmadoodle <irma16@...> wrote: Hi again!I am in need of some help for my DH's wrist.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hi Fern, Too, you might try using hot Castor oils packs on his wrist. Seems to me there was a discussion about this awhile back on HR dealing with Dorsal ganglion cysts. Most likely it is from his thumb joint. I would definitely try the hot castor oil packs during the night (leave on all night), get him eating more potassium foods (raw only), hot/cold therapy at least twice a day along with using cayenne ointment or oil to stimulate blood flow to the area. I do suppose that you could put together an herbal poultice to use on his wrist as well. Maybe use some comfrey and/or plantain leaves and make the poultice as hot as he can stand it. Change it as it cools with fresh herbs but keep it moderately hot. You could even mix the herbs in with the castor oil and just do the whole thing at once. Do get him taking MSM though. At least 1 gram per day if not more. You might also have him begin drinking lots of fresh green leafy vegetable juices and fresh fruit juices. Lots of them as they contain lots of needed organic minerals and potassium in particular. Keep us informed Fern and no book bashing OKAY!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Those are very common, they are called ganglions. I get them occasionally myself. They will go away on there own, no need to smash it or cut it.
