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.
