Lump on hand

Oct 17, 2009 12:18

OMG, I just got quite a scare.  My husband noticed a very hard lump on the back of my hand near my wrist.  When palpated, it is a bit painful.  It is more pronounced when I flex my wrist.  I'm surprised I hadn't noticed it before.  It feels like it's a growth on the bone.  Of course everybody associates growths with cancer.  I started worrying a lot.  Of course it's Saturday and family doc isn't open.  So off to the internet I went.  After looking through some sites, it looks like I might have a ganglion cyst, which is benign.  I'll be going to the doc as soon as I can to have it checked out.  Still worried though.
