Hello,
It may be due to ganglion.
For further assessment I would suggest you to consult with surgeon for detailed examination.
You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Restrict your movements
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
