Suggest Treatment For Large Lump On Left Wrist
Hello, I was injured two months ago in a military training school. All of a sudden, I notice a large lump growing fast on top of my left wrist, with the pain getting worse each day. Should I have it checked out immediately or wait to get an appointment?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.You can wait for an appointment, only if the pain is in limits.
2.It can be a ganglions ( cystic lumpy areas ) or bony out growth.
3. In your case if you are my patient i would have ask for the ultrasound of the lesion to see the extension in involvement of adjacent anatomical areas, and an AP/LAT of left hand and wrist to rule out the bony causes.
4.Afther that to plan weather to excise the lump - act accordingly.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
