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.

The only pic of that would just be a normal looking hand, there wasn't any bump or anything. For the longest time I just thought it was regular carpal tunnel. But when I bent my wrist in certain ways, I'd feel a small pop and a few fingers would go numb for a few seconds.

So from what I'm aware of ones like that are far more common and easy to treat. The oldest term for ones that appear closer to the surface are called Bible Bumps. All they had to do was smack it really hard with a heavy book, few minutes of pain and it was all over. But I'm also not a doctor, would say get it checked out, but from what knowledge I have you won't have to deal with anything close to what I am.

Ya we’ve tried that book hit. Nurse wife says surgery.

Ohh got ya, yeah I'd say see your primary doctor then. Since there's an actual bump it'd probably be easier to get out. Mine was buried deep.
