Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a large lump, on the back of my hand for almost a year. I went to the doctor today and he tried to drain it but nothing came out! When it get cold it is very painful, it actually woke me up the other night because of the pain (yes the pain was so bad I was crying) I also have a lump on the lower back of the head to the right of the occiput. I was so large and very painful expecially when cold, a few weeks ago I called to make and appointmet which was today. That bump is gone now.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged bursa, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
