an alien has poisoned my wrist arteries

[lobelia321]

Suddenly, in the middle of gamelan, my wrist swelled up and had an angry blue bruise on it. It was painful. It's still there though only a little painful, like a blue blob under my skin.

This is weird. I don't like it. I haven't done anything to cause this. It just appeared there.

Ganglion?

I had two (one on foot, one on wrist). They form of um cartilege, I think, often fluid filled, in muscles, and can "pop" up under skin suddenly just as you describe.

I had to have surgical removal of both (they were pressing on nerves). The one on my foot was v. painful (top of foot). The wrist one, less so, so I waited--and ended up with muscle necrosis (the pressure of the ganglion had killed some muscle tissue).

If it doesn't go away quick/fast, might be worth checking out.
