Hello, I am 49 years old, 56 180#, I have a small hard knot on the thumb side of my wrist, it is under the skin and sometimes causes numbness and pain. Once before when I was a kid I had a similiar knot, my dad thinks it was on the same hand.It has began to get larger. What could this be?
Hi, Dear,thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. After going through the query in details, In my opinion--Your outside of the wrist has -Ganglion Cyst. Treatment-a-Consult an orthopedic doctor.b-Check X-ray of the wrist would explain its articular relation and connectivity. C-Planned Surgical Excision by Orthopedic Surgeon would help you to get rid of the growing Ganglion cyst of the Wrist. Hope this would help you to plan treats with your doctor. Wishing you fast recovery and Healthy life. Wellcome to Chat Doctor for further query to My Chat Doctor clinic. Have a Gd day. Chat Doctor. S.
