Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue which can be venous clot or Hematoma/cyst collection.

It may subside with time or may remain of same size.
Pain on swelling indicates inflammatory process or nerve compression.
I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound of wrist.
If its collection it can be excised.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
