A member asked:

I have a lump on my wrist. it's a little sore if i move my wrist and it's on the upper part(not palm side). it shows if i bend wrist.what could it be?

Ganglion cyst?: with just that info I would say the odds are in your favor it is a benign ganglion cyst. If it continues to bother you I would see your hand surgeon for aspiration or surgical removal.
