Common Questions and Answers about Lump at wrist
lump
It is sticking out right about at the wrist. We have taken him to the vet and the lump is very hard. They gave him an antibiotic shot in hopes that it was perhaps an abscess and would go down. It did not and actually has increased in size. He does not limp and gets around on it just fine but it does hurt when you push on it. We have plans to take him in and have it removed. The vet thinks that it would be too difficult to aspirate anything from it. He believes it to be more solid.
Afterwards I was pretty sore and stiff all over, but was fine after a few days, except for my wrist; I have had a small amount of pain in my wrist at the bottom of my thumb, where it meets the wrist on the palm side which I thought would eventually go away, but is still there now. It doesn't hurt much except when I move it in particular ways, e.g., if I bend my wrist forward the whole way, and even then the pain is not too much.
The top part of my hand itself was kind of swollen also. But my biggest concern is that there is a small lump on the bottum part of my wrist now that I can move around. It was pretty big when it originally happened and I kept pushing it back in. 4 days later however it is quite small but still sticks out. I was not and nor in any pain during the entire inccident and my fingers/wrist/thumb are free to move.
The swelling is now on the whole back of my hand still with a centralized lump focused at the wrist. The back of my hand is sore and still swollen. Some guys at work told me to see the nurse to check and make sure its not some sort of bug bite and infection but there are no visible marks. The nurse didnt think so either. Im starting to worry and fear something is wrong. I have been working with my insurence company and they havent been able to help yet. I am 1000mi from home and stuck.
Ganglion cysts most commonly occur on the back of the hand, at the wrist joint and can also develop on the palm side of the wrist. Ganglion cysts arise from the capsule of a joint or the sheath of a tendon. They can be found at different places on the wrist.
You can ask your specialist to rule out spurs by an X-ray, infections due to the symptoms of inflammation and also any lipoma or giant cell tumors with the help of scans and examination.
You can consider surgery for a complicated cyst.
I NOTICED ONE DAY THAT I HAD A SMALL LUMP ON TOP OF MY LEFT WRIST, I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING IT THAT MORNING. I WENT TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THE LUMP RIGHT WHERE THE WRIST JOINT BENDS. IT DOESN'T HURT, IT JUST FEELS LIKE A HARD BONY LUMP. HOW COULD SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE IN THE MORNING BE THERE IN THE AFTERNOON ? I DID PICK UP A FEW HEAVY THINGS, BUT DON'T REMEMBER ANY PAIN. ITS NOT SWOLLEN, IT JUST SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF LUMP.
My father had one in his left wrist, he was left handed. I first noticed the lump in my wrist after this last leaf raking season. I can be sitting idle and have sharp shooting burning pains through my wrist, hand and forearm. I have done extensive research but one symptom I have that I have not seen mentioned is this; I can not only feel but see my pulse in the lump. Is this a Ganglion or something else.
Dear Dr,
I have been seeing a girl recently who may have a shady past. She told me she used to hang out with the wrong crowd in college and experimented with drugs. I asked her if she ever injected anything and she said "no". We've seen each other a few times now and this past week (stupidly) I had sex with her, unprotected a couple times. I asked her if I had anything to worry about and she said no.
Then I dropped a pretty heavy bottle of water right on the spot the hurts - on top of the right foot. Now I have a quarter sized hard lump in that exact area and it hurts to walk. The lump is approximately in line with my second toe and it's a little more than half way down the hop of the foot. It only hurts when I walk - not at rest. Help!
Hard painful lum noted on top left hand below wrist and in line with index and middle finger. Very painful when bumped and with flexion. Pain with burning, throbbing to wrist, hand, and fingers as well. Same bump on right hand but not painful at present. Bump is firm and feels like bone. Any thoughts what it could be?
It sounds like a Wrist Ganglion Cyst. A wrist ganglion cyst is a swelling that usually occurs over the back of the hand or wrist. These are benign, fluid-filled capsules. If it is a ganglion cyst, it is normally not painful. Sometimes if you bump it against something hard, then it can hurt a little. Take him to the doctor, so that they can make a proper diagnosis.
I have fm and in the past 8 months developed painful lumps in the same place on both wrists. Just where the bottom of the thumb meets the wrist. I can't wear my watch band anymore because the swelling makes it so tight. To me it looks like there is something on one of the ligaments. Finally I went to the doctor . Xrays of both hands showed nothing. He gave me an injection of cortisone into the lump on the most painful wrist and although I still have this lump the pain is gone.

When I was 17 i dislocated my thumb from my wrist now I'm 29 and my wrist has a lump that is only visible when I bend my hand down and if I move it side to side it pops its becoming more painful what should I do and what could it be
Hello I have a new hard lump on the palm of my hand (at the base of my middle finger). I have some throbbing (which is how I discovered the lump) and also pain when I grasp things (such as the steering wheel). I have read about gangolian cysts, but they seem to usually be located at the wrist from what I have read. This feels like a very hard marble. I am not sure if I should have it checked out, I am just concerned since it is a lump and is new. Any info/advice would be appreciated.
SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE DOUBLE POST. I ADDED A PIC AND SOME MORE INFORMATION.
Hello everyone!
I would very much appreciate any feedback. I'm a 26 year old male.
Today, my left armpit was hurting when I applied deodorant. Later on, I noticed an oval shaped lump, about 1 inch. It's visible, and pink-ish, and it hurts when I touch it or when my armpit moves. It feels tender. What could this be? Should I wait and see what happens or get it checked out ASAP?
I am 14 years old and I have been experiencing pain in my wrist for a little under 5 months. It is a hard lump on my right wrist.it is located under my pinky side of the wrist and where the bone is. It is bigger and fatter than my left wrists bone. It hurts to twist both ways more clockwise than the other. Recently it has also even aching and hurting when I'm not doing anything with it. I have asked my parents if we should check it but they said no.
They ordered a wrist xray but are basically at their wits end at my primary care facility. We decided to stay off steroids but taking prescription NSAIDS to keep the wrist/jaw/hip pain manageable enough to get some sleep at night. Pain worsens through the day and is worst around 3 AM. Swelling and pain are best around 10AM. Mid back gets really stiff and somewhat painful while sleeping as well. Some days when the jaw flares I can feel a big goosegg there too, in front of my ear.
