Possibility...: Although it is difficult to diagnose without seeing it, it is likely a ganglion cyst. You should have it evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. Depending on its size, exact location and how it affects function, treatment options range from monitoring to removal. Go to see the orthopedist ASAP for definite diagnosis as well as treatment. Good luck!!

Cyst of infection: This is a common location for a ganglion cyst. However, the fact that it hurts really bad and is red, could indicate infection. You should get this evaluated as soon as possible by orthopedist.
