Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Wrist That Increases On Activity

I have a problem in my left wrist which started 4 months ago with severe pain then a swallowing in the wrist that increases with increased activity. Now there is no pain but still a littlle swallowing is remaining. The doctor told me that it needs a surgery, but he is not a very qualified doctor. X-Ray report is showing no abnormal features. MRI report is telling an opinion of dorsal wrist lobulated ganglion. What do you suggest please?!

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have ganglion. There are two treatment options. One is aspirations by wide bore neddle. Second is operation removal. Operative removal has advantage of getting it biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.For pain relief you can take analgesic such ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help me.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
