: I was told I have ganglion cyst in both my wrists several years ago. I recently went to the Dr. they said I have 5 ganglion cyst in one wrist and 3 in the other. They also said I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. Is it possible that the cyst have caused the carpal tunnel? Do you think that if I have the cysts removed it would relieve the carpal tunnel? Having the cysts removed may ease the carpal tunnel, but be advised that the cysts may return. I had a ganglion cyst removed less than one year ago and it's back bigger than ever!
