Question:
Since Saturday, i have had a swelling just above my wrist it is pretty large. it hurts when pressing on it, i noticed it because it was sore without touching, but that has subsided. it has gotten slightly larger since saturday. What is this? anyone? I am in process of being treated for the graves (was diagnosed in June of 08) is this lymph related?

would appreciate any feed back, can't find any pics online to show what

Hope that works for you! You could also try elevating the wrist above your heart, that might help with the swelling too!

haven't tried the cold compresses yet, can't take alleve (allergic) but will give advil a shot. thanks, kim

As I mentioned, it could be related to the arthritis. Have you tried cold compress or anti-inflammatories like advil?

What does it feel like when you press on it? My husband gets a lump on his hand from time to time, and it's nothing more then a lipoma. It comes and goes.
You also don't mention what kind of arthritis you have. That may be a clue.
As far as I know, there are no lymph nodes in the wrist.
