LIKELY GANGLION CYST: This sounds like a ganglion cyst. These are benign cysts or fluid filled sacs with fibrous tissue related to the joint spaces or synovial cysts. The pain should abate in time and they may change slightly in size. For a definitive diagnosis, go to your doctor, They can be excised or surgically removed/
