What Causes Swelling Behind The Left Hand?
I have a puffy area on the back of my left hand (I am right handed). It has been there for about a year. It never gets any worse, but it hurts most of the time. It has a burning feeling and then sometimes a sharp pain. The swelling is just above the wrist line and in the middle of the back of my hand. I have tried splints, pain relieving cremes, heat and cold, but nothing seems to help. What are some possible causes for this and do you have any suggestions for eliminating the pain? Thank you for your consideration.
