Bump on the right wrist
I am having a bump on my wrist which is getting quite frustrating. this bump has been there since long but it keeps appearing and disappearing with some pain when pressure is put. Lately this has become a problem and it's not going away. Im not able to bend my wrist. I have this pain on my right arm at times. The pain still persists. I am getting concerned as can this be life threatening.

Dear Madam,
I can understand your concern. It is very difficult to say what that swelling is. However, from your history, it may be a ganglion cyst. This usually requires surgical excision. A detailed clinical examination by an orthopaedic surgeon is recommended
