Suggest Remedy For Lumps In The Wrist

HI I have a small pea size hard lump on my right wrist on the side under my thumb. I have had ganglian cysts in this wrist before but usually in the center of my wrist. This is off to the side and can see it when bent. Its very hard and not movable. Also not painful. Help!

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Even if its much different than ganglion cysts you have had before, ganglion cyst in another location is the most possible reason of this lump. The best you can do is to have soft tissues ultrasound to determine what type of lump it is.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
