Please re-write your question. Don't know what a carpal boss is. You are describing a ganglion cyst (Google it).

Hi, carpal boss is associated with pain. The bossing (osseous prominence) can exhibit mass effect on the surrounding soft tissues and cause inflammation and swelling and therefore add to the aforementioned bone pain. The doctor that diagnosed your carpal boss should now talk to you about treatment options. Good luck.

I have a carpal boss that occured after an injury (a strong force to my hand). I'm just wondering what happened to the bone that it occured in the first place? Did the bone break a little and then heal with a overgrowth? Did it only become swollen?

Can a carpal bossing that occured after an injury cause any other complications or injuries to your hand? I'm asking that, cause mine is pretty painful, both the bump, and the area around the bump. Both hurt by itself, but even more to touch?
My carpal boss is pretty painful, but so is the area around the bony lump. It's very sensitive especially to touch. What could that possibily mean? Might there be any tissue or ligaments or tendons around the bump damaged too? I'm having an MRI soon?
