General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though it needs a clinical assessment to start with to know the nature of the swellings, the swelling in the wrist and your neck could be two independent entities. The swelling on the wrist could be a ganglion. The swellings on the neck could be lymph nodes as thought by you, and could be part of a generalised problem. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a few blood tests like a CBC, ESR, and an FNAC of the neck swellings to have a cytological diagnosis for planning further investigations and management of the condition.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
