Hello. The photo and history point towards a dorsal ganglion cyst probably with a sudden increase in size which might require a sonography of that area, and based on that further management can be decided.
Next Steps
sonography of the wrist
Health Tips
Ice application for about 15-20 mins will help decrease the pain. can take over the counter painkillers.
