Wrist Mumps

Ive developed this lump on my wrist over the past week. Its probably a ganglion cyst but Ive had one before and it wasn't as painful as this. My wrist movements are becoming more more difficult and painful and now there is very little I can do without some sort of discomfort, (except being on the computer..which doesn't hurt at all)

I'm so right handed it isn't funny, and I'm finding out how much so every day, even taking this picture was a challenge!

Anyhow the doc has told me to rest it as much as possible (wanted to put it in a splint just to remind me but i freaked at that) and will review it next week, do a needle aspiration and then I will probably have to have it removed. The previous one went after I bashed it with a spoon, (this ruptures the capsule and allows the gelatinous substance to be absorbed..it worked and its never come back.) This one however is bigger and way to painful to even touch, I'm sure its starting to press on nerves and tendons as my hand does feel slow and kinda sluggish...
