This (ganglion cyst on my right wrist) happened to me last year and I too thought it was a bone... Although my cyst wasn't the size of a golf ball, I had x-rays taken and aspirated it. It wasn't too bad - it's not a surgery that will cut up the area, a needle(sorry!) will be inserted and drain the fluid. When the needle was going in, the area was numb(the doctor froze the area with a spray), so I didn't feel any pain with the needle...
Oh, and don't use the book method!!
