Back in November I learned I had developed a ganglion cyst after a tennis injury. Last night, I jumped on my boyfriend as he was walking away and hit my cyst on his shoulder. It popped when I did that. Is this serious, or is it a good thing that it popped?

I had a ganglion for years that I finally had to have surgically removed. My Dr. told me that med students pop theirs by hitting them with big textbooks. OUCH. Some of them do pop by themselves, but will probably grow back. I wish I had had the guts back then to smack the thing myself!
