How To Treat Bump On Wrist Just Straight Up From Thumb?
An area like a bone just popped up at the wrist just straight up from the thumb and one inch up from the wrist on the under side of wrist. It is not sore but feels just like a bone. I don't want to go make a bill at the doctors office if it is nothing. Thank you for your reply. Nan
