Can be: Ganglions are fluid filled cysts that usualy connect to a joint or tendon sheath. Their size can very depending on how much you are using the involved area, enlarging with heavy use and decreasing with rest. Steroid shots can help, but recurrence is common. If symptoms persist i would recommend that you see a hand surgeon for evaluation.
