Any ideas on ways to improve your push ups with a Ganglion Cyst?

6.25K

It appears I have developed a small Ganglion Cyst on my wrist. It gives me slight discomfort while doing pushups. Anyone have any suggestions on lessening this by variations on hand placement?

get it Taken out Fast... depending on the Location if can grow into areas between Bones and Muscles and if ruptured can cause and spread a Staph Infection ... Nasty Beast... we used to Take them out asap on our host nation and Local Counterparts

go to an urgent care facility or Doc in a Box and get it taken care of...
when you watch them take it out you will understand why...Hopefully they will not rupture it... the stench is Unbelievable...
Take care out there...

I got rid of one on my left wrist by doing pull-ups and hanging by my hands for a while. I thought that if I expanded the joints it just might pop back into place, and it did, sack and all.

Capt Seid Waddell interesting. I have noticed that if I do pushups after pullups, I don't experience as much discomfort.

SSgt (Join to see), in my case I noticed that the ganglion formed when my wrist was extended (away from palm) with force.

Capt Seid Waddell - Same here - in that typical 90 degree bend of the wrist.

Fist push-ups helped me when I dealt with a torn scapholunate tendon (in the wrist).

There's also handles from Dick's Sporting Goods, a TRX cable system, and suspended cable rings.

Or be hardcore and do them on your index fingers.
