Lump Formed In The Wrist After 5 Hrs Of Shoveling Snow. No Swelling, Just A Sore. Should It Be A Concern?

hi my boyfriend was out shoveling snow for about 5 hrs today, this after noon he looked down at his wrist and there is a lump that looks like a bone trying to come thru his wrist, its on his left hand and its on the right side of his wrist, its not swelled or black n blue or nothing, he says its a little sore, I thought it might be an over worked muscle, should he get it checked, thank you

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It seems to be muscle strain.
I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -

* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
