I have a ganglion cyst, I wanna save $$$

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I have a ganglion cyst on my inner right wrist and I recently went to the doctor. He said that the only way for it to be gone is by doing surgery, due to the artery/vein that's near the cyst. I researched about this and I saw that I can "smash" or "pop" this stubborn thing with a Bible (it said it was cured that way) or a heavy book, but not as hard as if I were going to break my wrist. So, uh.. Tell me doc, can I save money and do the Bible Bash?

Even without bible smash the ganglion will settle for some people. If you have pain , numbness then surgery is the choice.
