Enlarged bone in wrist
I have been noticing an enlarged mass which i suppose is the bone of the wrist. Can anyone tell what can it be?
There is little or no pain in my wrist but when i bend my wrist the mass shows and there is a space in front of that mass which goes inside like something is missing from there. Can it be that a bone from the wrist is displaced?

This is a ganglion most probably.
.Rule out bony mass a the x-ray
If this is a ganglion and is causing pain etc, then get it aspirated percutaneously

Hello
is this swelling hard or soft?
If soft then it's most probably ganglion and u need not to worry, it will go with time
But if it's hard then get an x-ray to see any bony issue And get it treated accordingly
