What Causes Pain, Numbness And Tingling Sensation On The Wrists?

I have had carpal tunnel like pain in my right wrist extending down my arm towards my elbow. I very recently discovered a gum ball size mass near my trapezium. It feels as though my wrist needs to pop. I do get numbness and tingling from time to time.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As far as my clinical experience is concerned, the current issue is most likely a bursa cyst involving the wrist region with compression of underlying nerve structure giving tingling and numbness.
* I recommend an MRI of the wrist for definite management aspects.

Do give me further chance to assist in future.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
