I purchased a pair (elastic & velcro) from the local sporting goods store. I wore the one on wrist with the ganglion cyst 24 hr/day for the first few weeks. The relief it gave me was incalculable. I continue to use them up to this day for very heavy sets of bench, press and squats. Over the years the cyst has diminished in size but it can still get irritated and flare up.
