He said they used to call it a "Bible "Bump" in the old days cuz the cure was to lay your hand on a table and have someone bang the bump as hard as they could with the largest book they had - which was typically a Bible. That would hopefully burst the sac that had built up around the cyst and it would go away. Doc said it was quite painful to fix that way and sometimes had to be done quite a few times to get the thing to completely dissipate. My GP just gave me a cortizone injection to burst the sac. Said if it came back he'd have to cut it open and drain it. What a goofy thing.
