What's going on when there's a sudden bump on my wrist?

The human body is a sophisticated and fragile instrument. Due to differences in people's sleeping habits, eating habits and other living habits, some abnormal conditions may occur in the body. A sudden bulge on the wrist is a common situation. This situation may be caused by long-term fatigue or wrist cyst, which requires people to pay attention to it and treat it in time. Let’s take a detailed look at what causes a sudden bump on your wrist.

Cause: 1. Wrist swelling caused by fatigue . If the swelling occurs for a period of time and disappears for a period of time, and is not accompanied by discomfort, it may be wrist fatigue, causing local swelling. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and confirmation, diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2 Wrist tenosynovitis Wrist tenosynovitis can also cause bulging of the wrist. This is because the inflammation of the tendon sheath will compress the tendon, causing the tendon to deform and leading to joint swelling. Wrist tenosynovitis can cause numbness, edema, tingling, and decreased sensitivity in the fingers. If the above conditions occur, timely treatment is required.

3. Wrist ganglion cyst The cause of wrist ganglion cyst is still unclear, but it will cause tissue lesions at the site of the disease to form cysts. This type of cyst usually appears on the palm of the wrist, the back of the wrist, and the elbow. The lump is hard and elastic, and it is painful when pressed with the fingers. This situation can be treated with acupuncture and surgical removal, but there is a possibility of recurrence. Patients do not need to worry too much, as ganglion cysts will not cause other lesions.

Tips: Common wrist diseases such as wrist tenosynovitis and wrist ganglion cyst are both related to chronic wrist strain and trauma. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to moving our wrists more and protecting them. If you experience any signs of illness, seek medical attention immediately.

Patients with wrist tenosynovitis should receive appropriate care during treatment and rehabilitation to speed up recovery, such as doing hand exercises, eating more vegetables and fruits, etc. Nursing methods for patients with wrist tenosynovitis When the patient starts to feel tingling in the wrist, he can do some gentle hand exercises to relieve the pain, such as rotating the wrist: Rotating the wrist is one of the simple exercises, turning the wrist for about 2 minutes. It can exercise all wrist muscles, restore blood circulation, and eliminate the bent wrist posture. Symptoms such as wrist pain caused by this bent wrist posture are normal. Fist exercise: Gently clench your fist, then open it and straighten your fingers. Repeating this exercise can help relieve the pain.
