Answers:
What you have sounds like a ganglion cyst!. It feels like a bone but it isn't, it is actually caused by an accumulation of fluids in the joint and sometimes happens when you do certain things repeatedly (such as playing the violin)!. I had one on my right wrist for over 10 years and it used to bother me initially and I felt very self conscious!. I spoke to my doc about it at the time (that's how I found out what it is) and I was told that the doctor could drain it using a needle and then inject an antibiotic to prevent infection but it could come back later, anyway I decided not to do it and learned to live with it!. I found out from my uncle that he also had it at one point as well as my grandmother so it might be hereditary also!. About 7 years ago it suddenly disappeared and there is no trace of it now!. Hope this info is helpful to you!. Good luck with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
