Is A Knot On The Wrist A Matter Of Concern?

Hi I fell off of a horse seven days ago while on vaction in the Dominican Republic. I broke 6 ribs and had to stay in a hospital there for 5 days before being cleared to fly home to the US. I had a pretty bad time time with the way I was given IV. It had to be moved four different times because it came out of the vein and my hand on two occasions swole to the point of looking and feeling like they would burst as well as my forearm! I know have a knot near site in my forearm and it only hurts when touched. Should I ve worried?

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.
There is possibility of ganglion cyst compressing nerve which when punctured leads to fluid leakage.
This can be due to injury.
Cystic lesions are usually benign and surgical excision is definitive treatment.

I will advise routine blood investigation medication like anti-inflammatory
