Why Is There a Painful Bump on My Wrist?

Swelling and pain on the wrist may be caused by ganglion cysts, tenosynovitis, fractures, and other reasons. Most of these conditions can be alleviated through physical therapy, medication, and surgical treatment.

1. Ganglion Cyst: Degeneration of the connective tissue in the joint capsule, ligaments, and tendon sheaths may induce ganglion cysts. These usually manifest as smooth, soft, benign lumps protruding from the skin, accompanied by pain. For this, it is recommended to take Aspirin Enteric-coated Tablets, Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsules, and Celecoxib Capsules as advised by a doctor.

2. Tenosynovitis: It is an acute or chronic inflammatory reaction in the tendon sheath. Overuse or friction of the wrist in daily life may induce this condition, leading to pain due to inflammatory stimulation. It is recommended to choose Ibuprofen Sustained Release Capsules, Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Capsules, and Celecoxib Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Fracture: If there is a history of trauma to the wrist, the swelling and pain may be caused by a fracture, accompanied by symptoms such as swelling and movement disorders. In such cases, internal fixation surgery can help improve the condition.

Apart from the relatively common causes mentioned above, there are many other reasons, such as lipomas, common warts, and osteochondromas. If discomfort persists without effective improvement, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
