What Does Gliding, Small, Painful Lump On Distal Forearm Mean?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here My husband has a small but very painful lump on his distal forarm ,approximately 2 inches from his wrist crease on the anterior aspect of his arm. The lump glides with movement. It appears to feel better with icing but I am not sure if he should see MD.
Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM. Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns. Based On the facts,Your husband seem to suffer from-GanglionCyst of the Wrist bone-joint on anterior aspect-or Swelling arising from synovial sheath s of the wrist tendons. CT study would rule out the possibility of -Bursitis of the wrist,which is also a gliding painful swelling,but would not be discrete in appearence. Hope this reply would satisfy you and would help you to plan further treatment with your doctor there.
Welcome any further query in this regard,which would be replied in next
