Do you have a lump on your wrist? Pay close attention to these symptoms; don’t ignore them.

Have you seen a lump on your wrist or near a joint? At first glance, it might seem harmless, but in fact, it could indicate a problem that requires medical attention. A lot of people ignore it until it begins to cause discomfort, pain, or even movement limitations.

In today article, we explain what may be causing this lump, its symptoms, and when it’s necessary to see a specialist.

🔍 What does this lump on the wrist or other joint mean?

When a lump appears on the wrist, the back of the hand, the fingers, or even the knees and feet, it is most often an abnormal accumulation of synovial fluid. This fluid is responsible for lubricating the joints, but in some cases, it can leak and form a small sac or cyst.

Though in most cases it is not dangerous, in some cases it can become painful, affect movement, or even press on nearby nerves, causing numbness and weakness in the affected area.
