Wrist bone sticking out
On my left wrist and other people's wrists, there's only one bone sticking out of their wrist. On my right wrist, there's a second bone sticking out slightly higher and towards the side of my thumb. It's not on my hand, and only a few millimeters higher up the hand than the smaller bone towards the outside of my wrist. It's decently larger and does not hurt unless bothered a lot.
