I have a hard bone like bump in the inside of my left wrist. its not too painful and can be seen more when I flex my wrist down or to the side. i noticed it last week and I dont recall an injury. my sister has cycts that come now and then but this feels nothing like that. you cant move it around or push on it. it literally feels like its a part of my bone.

Welcome to healthcare magic
I am Dr Fahim and I will help you with problem
     I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. To me it appears to be Ganglion of the wrist, which is a small, harmless cyst, or sac of fluid. Its treatment is aspiration of the fluid along with seton insertion for 3 weeks. The other option is surgical excision of the ganglion under local anaesthesia. Followed by tab Co-amoxiclav 625mg 8hourly, tab paracetamol 500mg 8hourly to prevent postoperative infection for 5 days. Since these are prescription drugs and a procedure is involved, you need to a see a general surgeon.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
