question: Hi, I think I may have a carpal boss on my left hand. I remember lifting my hand up very swiftly and hard hitting a hard surface. A few months later I noticed a hard bony protuberance on my wrist. After some research it sounds like a carpal boss - I am seeing a doc for an X-ray in a month. But keen to know what treatments there are apart from surgery. I have just started using a wrist brace as it s been hurting abit lately. Can it go away on its own? I think I ve had it for a few months. Thank you Linda
