Then let me do it, I promise you'll feel something. Wait, what are we talking about?
I've never had one drained but I've had 2 removed from my wrist. The first time they burst it and couldn't get the whole capsule it was in out. Nice. They told me I'd have to let it come back again and need surgery in about a year. I was in a lot of pain for that year because I wound up with a ton of scar tissue (besides the cyst I had scar tissue about the size of a grape in my wrist). I had a cortizone shot between surgeries.
The 2nd surgery was done by a hand/wrist specialist. It went well. He scraped everything out of there and I've been a-okay since. Good luck!

For me my wrist apparently got pissy with me having too much weight in it while my hand was supinated. I wound up tearing a little bit around the joint and it leaked synovial fluid out into my wrist area. That pissed off my wrist more and it formed a cyst.
There's a capsule-- you can see it on an MRI. They did a "bloodless" surgery the first time where they push most of the blood out of the arm and in the process they burst the cyst. So they just dug around in there for 45 minutes or so. Whatever they did just wound up screwing things up even worse.
That's part of why I had so damn much scar tissue. The first time around I had a TON of wrist pain and then I had what looked like a really hard thing sticking up that looked like it was the size of a big grape. It wasn't sexy. Or fun.

Princess...I had one drained...removed just a few weeks ago. It was actually a big topic of discussion on the board for a few days. It is simple. You won't feel a thing, just like a little pin prick and within 3 minutes you have a nice new bandaid and most probably a lolipop.
go get em tiger...your gonna be just fine.
If it would help I can meet you at the Dr.s office and hold your hand.

I drained one time, just decreased its size, it was in the forehead and actually affected the bone growth of the skull since he had since he was a kid so I didnt want to take out too much fluid and leave him with a dent in his forehead. Stuck a sterile needle in after preparing the forehead and drained it out in like less than a minute, had this bump on his forehead that bugged him for years and he was like, thats it, thats all that had to be done lol.
Simple procedure to drain it, removal is more invasive obviously.
