Why is there a squishy bump on your wrist—and should you be worried? In this episode we uncover the mystery behind ganglion cysts of the wrist—those jelly-like lumps that seem to show up out of nowhere. Whether you're a gymnast, an office warrior, or just curious about that strange bump, this episode is for you.

We’ll break down what ganglion cysts are, why they form, how they’re diagnosed, and what to do if they’re painful or getting in the way. From simple observation to aspiration and surgery, we’ll cover the full spectrum of care with clear, practical insights.

All the information in this episode comes from the free, peer-reviewed website of the non-profit OrthoEducation, available at OrthoEducation.com.
