My wrist hurts is swollen and has a lump in it what's wrong?

ganglion: Most common reason for a lump to develop from the wrist in association with pain is a ganglion cyst. This is a synovial cyst that arises from the wrist joint and can be removed if symptomatic. You should seek the advice of a hand surgeon.
