OUCH! I used to have a cyst in my wrist and it hurt soooooooo bad. I was little and it always make it no fun to play outside. They told me I was too little to operate and we could try and bust it by slamming a book down on my wrist... but there was no way I was letting that happen. I don't know what happened to it but it is gone now.:)

OMG my friend has that same thing!!! That book thing is the same thing she was told to do. (of course she didn't do it) Hers is still there, you can see it on her wrist and it only bothers her every now and then. I think she will get surgery on it eventually.

As for me, all this typing hurts!:(

ewww poor you! I had to wear one of those wrist thingies with the metal bit in it when I was a cashier at Petcetera, lifting all that heavy stuff all day gave me an irritated medial nerve whatsit. Yuck!
