A member asked:

Can a ganglion cyst be hard as bone and not be moved around?

Yes: They can be tight from the pressure they are under and feel hard. A specialist can usually tell if it is a cyst knowing the anatomy, shining a light across it in a dark room (if anatomically possible) or seeing it on an ultrasound or mri.

Not usually: A ganglion is soft and has some mobility.
