Long story short I was diagnosed with a ganglion cyst (albeit small but painful) in Jan 2025. After a month of wearing a brace it went down on it's on. A few weeks ago (late April 2025) the pain had returned, this time the brace was only providing minor relief. The idea of epsom salt intrigued me but I wasn't willing to soak my wrist in that. For practicality reasons, I opted for magnesium oil and massaged my wrist with it for about 2-3 minutes several times per day and wearing the brace occasionally. Within the hour the pain was subsiding. After a week I was pain free. I now haven't used the oil in 2 weeks and the pain still hasn't returned.

Ganglion Cyst: I had raised painless red lumps on both thumbs near the joint, I read the posts on Epsom salts treatment which are full of magnesium, & thought it would be easier to take magnesium tablets. I took two 500mg tablets a day- one in the morning, the other at night. After 3 days I thought the lumps looked slightly smaller. I continued taking the tablets. After 3 weeks the lumps were now gone, but the skin was still red. I continued taking the tablets & after another couple of weeks the redness was totally gone.
I now take a maintenance dose of one tablet daily, & now several months later they have not returned.
