A member asked:
I hurt my wrist and went to urgent care just to make sure it wasn't broken, x ray was okay but it showed a lump in my forearm. what could it be?

Bruise or ganglio: I agree with Dr. Jovita Anyanwu. If the x-ray did not show a fracture, the lump is most likely from swelling/bruising or a ganglion cysts. Ganglion cysts are normally found on the back of the wrist vs the forearm. Recommend watching. If it gets worse, bigger, painful, drains fluid, then follow up with your doctor.
