Carpal boss is not a medical term. Hopefully by now you have had the imaging study and received proper treatment for the malady. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

It can be irritation of the joint between the wrist bones and metacarpal bones

I have a carpal boss on my hand. The bump itself is painful, which makes sense to me, but i'm wondering why the area around it is too? What damage could that be? I feel pain under the bump, on my scaphoid (i think). What could the causes for pain be?

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?

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?
