Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On Wrist?
I have a history of giant cell tumor in wrist. Had few surgeries in past. Over past several months I ve noticed another possible lump growing. Lately it s been a burning, painful sensation. High chance tumor can be back or can it possibly be something else? I have to wait wks. before seeing my doc, and in meantime very nervous.

hi.
based from your description, it is a possible cyst recurrence. these lesions can occur anywhere and have the tendency to recur. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general or an orthopedic surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
