Ganglion cyst in wrist and urgent care didn’t do anything

Bones/Joints/Ligaments

Background: I went to Midwest express clinic last night. If you go on their website it literally says on their services when you click on that, third link down, “abscess and cysts”, I also called ahead to the location I was going to to double check and they confirmed that after doing an xray they are able to drain cysts as long as they don’t suspect cancer. I went in right ? Nurse checked me out she gave me zero concern to think they wouldn’t help me when I told her why I was there. I even said I called and was hoping to get this thing drained I’ve had it for two years and now it’s swelling up really big really fast and hurts so bad I can’t move my wrist at all. Doctor comes in to see me right ? I tell her same exact thing I told the nurse, and I asked her after speaking with her are they able to drain it tonight after the xray if all is good I really can’t deal with the pain. She directly said no we don’t do that here at all we only do abscess not cysts at all. So I asked her why there was conflicting information on the website and when I called and got met with her “OK FINE WELL DRAIN IT” then slamming the door Fast forward I got the xray Went back in Doctor didn’t drain it Sent me home with a wrist brace and told me to get insurance so I can go to a hand surgeon but confirmed it is a cyst. I’m just. I’m confused. Idk what to do. I just moved and can’t apply for insurance till I do my address changes. If anyone has any advice please help. To get rid of this or anything.
