Severe Pain And Indentation On The Ulna After A Ganglionectomy. Small Knot Developed. Due To The Compression Caused By The Cast?
I had a half cast out on after a ganglionectomy. This caused severe pain and indention at the end of the ulna. The pain lingered on but the surgeon dismissed my concerns. It is now 4 months later and not only do I still have the pain and burning, but have developed a pea sized knot at the end of the ulna. I suspect this is not normal, but what could have happened when the cast was compressing that area?

Hi,
Yes their are chances it may have occurred due to the cast compressing, I would advice you to have pea sized knot at the end of the ulna checked by the physician, and discuss about ongoing pain and burning issues.
Thanks.
