Suggest Remedy For Bruising In Knuckles
I recently had wrist surgery for a ganglion cyst and I m noticing my knuckles are becoming seriously bruised. The bruising started last night but I regarded it as normal for my surgery. Checking back on it today, I noticed the bruising is expanding and becoming a more reddish tone. What does this mean? And is it normal or should I call my surgeon?

Hi there.
It appears that your Ganglion may be back. It is quite common for this to happen even after surgery. I suggest you apply cold compress over the swelling. Consult your Surgeon and get an ultrasound to confirm the resurgence of the Ganglion cyst. If present, it may require threading or surgery.
