Hi, I am new to this forum. I would like to know if there is any ganglion cyst that is hard, not soft? I have a lump on the outer edge of my wrist (The intersection of the little finger line(vertival) and the wrist joint line(horizontal)). The lump is on the back of my wrist. It is hard, not soft. It is rather flat and not large. It is not like the ganglion cysys that we usually see. The lump has been there for about 6 months now. I am a good badminton player and I use a lot of wristwork during badminton games. I went to consult an orthopaedic surgeon a week ago. But he is not sure what it is. He gave me an ambiguous answer by saying that maybe it is a ganlion cyst and maybe it is not. He said ganglion cysts are usually not located there (outer edge of the wrist's back, on little finger side). He had my hand X-rayed, which shows that the hand bone is OK. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some comments. Regards, CW Tan
