Is it a ligament tear if there is deformity on flexor part of the wrist? I have a bump that is in between the wrist and hand, and close to the pinky part of the wrist. What could this mean? Here are some more of my symptoms. My hand and wrist are swollen, a lack of color in the hand (not pink looking), sharp pain when in movement or not moving it, and it becomes stiff easily. It hurts to do anything with it, but I still make myself because I work from home. I also believe I have developed osteoarthritis since then. No matter how much PT, ice, elevate, and so forth, I have made little progress. I am seeing a specialist next month, but am wondering if any of you have an idea of what could be wrong. I look forward to reading your feedback. Thank you again for your assistance. By the way, you may or may not be able to see the bump in the picture.
