These cysts are fairly common and if it bothers you it can be surgically removed. See an orthopedic surgeon or hand specialist. They may want to do scans, radiographs, ultrasound and labwork

Hi there, I think I might have sprained my wrist but don't think it's so severe that I need to visit a doctor for it. Could you advise on self-care and medication to relief pain? It's pretty tender (can't swing my hand up or down, nor left or right)

3 months ago, i fractured a bone in my hand, but didn't go to the doctor, because i didn't even know it was fractured at first. Now my bone healed in a unusual position and there is a bump under my hand visible. Can this bump be fixed surgically?

Bone bruise on hand 6 weeks ago. Doc says it still needs more time and no restrictions. Wearing brace at work and ace bandage at home with ice. How serious is this injury? How should I take care of it? Constantly using my hand?

I punched a door (heat of the moment angry outburst) and now the top of my pinky between the first 2 knuckles hurts really bad when I barely press on it but I can still make a fist and move all my fingers, should I see a doctor or is it just bruised?
