Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?

Hope this message finds you in good health.

I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.

I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.and we have found that generally ,almost 60-80 % surgically removed ganglions reappear again.

in your case, only if the ganglion is large enough and painful,the you can think of getting it removed surgically.

chemo/electro causterisation or local steroid injection shot / aspiration will work as effectively as well.
so prefer not to get it removed surgically.

You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.

Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.

Wish you a healthy life : )

If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
     
Kind Regards..
