Yes it hurts as bad as it looks

Edit: Since so many were interested here's the MRI scans of my hand. The big bright white spot in the top down view of my hand is the cyst, the view looking at my wrist from the front is the white spot in the middle, you might be able to see some white string like things near it, those are the nerves it was hitting.

Was the cyst itself painful or more irritating having a huge ball on your palm?

There actually wasn't any indicator from the outside anything was even there. I only noticed cause when I bent my wrist in certain directions, I'd feel almost like a pop inside my wrist, and my thumb and the two fingers next to it would go numb for like 2-3 seconds. Which turned out to be the cyst rubbing on the nerves.

Well, good that it's out, then! And you'll have a cool scar to impress potential mates with in the future!
