Can A Lump On The Wrist Be Treated Non-surgically?
I have a lump on the bottom of my left wrist near my thumb. From what I read on the internet it fits the description of a ganglion. My doctor looked at it and advised me to go to an emergency room to have it removed. I went to an emergency room and that doctor recommended I make an appointment with a hand surgeon, which I did. Meanwhile, my wife, who is an X-ray tech , she said the orthopedic doctors she worked for have treated lumps like this, and that I should see one of them. what do you recommend ?
