So I had this (I presume) ganglion cyst on my top knuckle of my middle finger and it was getting big and uncomfortable enough that I was going to discuss it at my next doctor's appointment in a few months and then...
Had too much champagne at a work thing, closed my hand in the fire door when I went to walk the dog - problem solved.
Hurt like hell for about eight seconds when it happened, tender now but not as bad as when the cyst was pre-rupture. I just keep mushing it and hoping it won't come back. Die! Die!
Ouch! Ow! Yikes! I hurt just thinking about it. FWIW, I have good luck using coconut oil on cysts.
The “traditional” method for getting rid of ganglon cysts is to smack them with a bible so…
Perhaps it was a blessed fire door.

I hope this was figured out with a control group that got whacked with a secular book of the same size as the bible. But the bibles and secular books would have to be covered in brown paper so it could be a methodologically rigorous double-blind comparison.
I’m imagining Steph chasing after someone with a paper-covered family Bible in her hands yelling, “Get back here! This smacking is for science!”
You have to imagine me wearing a lab coat while I do it. For science.
And your evil hand is holding the Bible. Irony.
I'm kind of disappointed at how not-evil my hand is. Maybe when I get surgery for the left one, it'll become evil.
