Select the symptom that best describes your problem to see common possible causes and useful patient information.

Lumps in the hand or wrist are common and are often benign. A lump that changes size is commonly a ganglion cyst.

Bent or flexed finger +

A finger that clicks, locks or gradually bends into the palm may suggest trigger finger or Dupuytren’s disease.

Thumb pain is often worse with pinch grip, opening jars, turning keys or lifting heavier objects.

Wrist pain +

Wrist pain can come from the thumb side, little finger side, back of the wrist or the whole wrist.
