rambo 10
My first surgeon said it was gandlion cyst but he removed lipoma, but still had lump, went got a second opinion and had a mri done and doctor found volar ganglion cyst and dorsal gandlion cyst, plus severe tendonitis witch I never had that, so I had surgery, my first surgery did not do any prior testing, do you think the doctor made a bad decision
