Lump in wrist...

[JodieWodie]

Hi all

Whilst in a staff meeting this morning, I looked down and saw that I have a small (whiteish looking underneath the skin) lump

When I flex my hand back and forth, (side to side), the lump moves with it...
the lump goes up when I bend my right hand toward my arm, and the lump then moves down when I bend the hand away from my arm
It's about the size of a sultana

Could it be attached to a tendon ?
I don't know how long it has been there

It isn't painful at all, and I wouldn't have known it was there

I haven't banged the wrist to my knowledge

My Fiance was disgusted with it, and urged me to contact the GP asap

Anyone shed any light on this?
The man has made me worry slightly

Thanks in advance
Jo x

Could be a ganglion

Sounds like it.

What I'd have more of a problem with is ... your bloke thinking its disgusting.

WTF is that all about? You can't help growing a ganglion, its not as if its an STD or anything. Jeez. FFS.

If you tell your doctor you want it removing because you don't like the look, he will probably tell you the NHS can't help you. If you tell them it hurts and causes discomfort, then if it's possible to have it removed they will do it

I have a mark/lump on the back of my hand which I almost got removed. I admitted to my doctor that it didn't really hurt me, but he made me an appointment with a specialist and said as long as I told them it was painful they would do something about it. (in the end I missed my appointment due to going out drinking the night before, and then left it too late to make an another one without getting another referral from my GP, which I have not got around to yet).

I have got one that comes and go's.

Had it for about 15 months.
Got to the size of a powerball :o



Than I caught my hand on something and burst it, which hurt for a couple of hours tbh.
It went away.

Then it came back and lasted for 2 months.
Then it went away by itself and has not come back, 6 months.

Didnt hurt, but did feel a bit strange.

My sister had one in her wrist, she had to have it surgically removed. (Very small operation)

All the best!

[JodieWodie]

Thanks ever so much all xx

It has come up quite quickly (within about a week)
Never noticed anything there before

I will contact the GP on Monday, first thing

Someone I know f rom work said (after I emailed her it could be a ganglion)...
"My mate Tracey had one removed from the back of her hand in Jan"!

Hopefully it is just a cyst
You all put my mind at rest for now

Thanks again

Well... I went to the doctors this evening
I was in there all of 30 seconds,... I swear

She looked at me (glasses on end of nose)...I swear she sneered at my 'lower class self'

I explained that this lump (now the size of a large nut) had appeared just over a week ago, out of nowhere, on my right wrist

She felt it for all of 5 seconds

"It's nothing"

"OH..it just worried me that it came up so suddenly"

"No..it is nothing"

"Erm... oh, I thought it may be a cyst or something. it feels spongy, like it is filled with something. A bit odd, don't you think"?

"No. It is nothing DEAR"
No explanation..nothing
Then she stared at me. As if I was taking her time and I was stupid or something

I got back home and thought..but surely it IS something. I can see it

I called Fiance and he s aid "So we are imagining it is there then ??

Oh, and the quack said to me as I walked out "If it hurts...come back "

If WHAT hurts ?
There is nothing there !!

GPs know nothing but you wont get to see a specialist.

it probably is nothing tho. just dont expect an explanation of what type of nothing you have.

i had a funny swelling on my wrist on the vein several years ago but it went away when i stopped wearing a watch

I have one too, I had it removed when I had my wrists operated on but it came back so i just put up with it now. It doesnt hurt and you cant really see it. My mother suffers with them and hers are very painful and she has 2 operations to remove hers as they were affecting her movement. Guess everyones different.

[one1895]

I got one too, I blame it on my clutch.

It's true about wacking it, although it may come back later.
