I have a small bulge sticking out a little above my left wrist. It has caused pain, weakness, and numbness in my hand and wrist area. I have gone and had an EMG done by a doctor and they said that it was a neuroma. I have been reading online and it seems like neuomas are in the foot. I am confused. Could it be a neuroma? Or what else could it be. I am having surgery to move nerves that run along the elbow, and the orthopedic surgeon will also be looking at this. What else could it be and why does it hurt?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma, Schwann, dermatofibroma or some other mass.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.  Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most of the benign lump.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
