What Causes A Painful Bump On Wrist?
I have a decent sized bump on the back of my wrist but only when I bend it down. It is very painful to bend my wrist backward or do pushups. If I find the right spot and I press on it it hurts immensely. I play golf and baseball for my college. I was told its the possibility of a ganglion cyst.
