What Causes Painful Lump On The Side Of The Palm?

Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing pain in my right wrist since over 3 years now. Of late, I can feel a painful lump at the end of the wrist (below the little finger), on the palm side. The pain increases every time I do something extensively like - using the laptop, cooking, cleaning etc. with my right hand. X-rays do not show anything different. Please advice.

Hello,

If there is painful lump but X-ray do not show anything , then it is a tendon problem. You should visit an orthopaedic surgeon as you need tendon checking. In this case, I will recommend MRI hand as investigation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
