Hello, Ratna I have studied your case. I think that you might be having wrist ganglion. It is swelling near wrist due to collection of fluid in the tendon sheath. Other cause of such swelling can be a muscle injury during workout.  To confirm the diagnosis you need to see an orthopedic doctor. He may advise you to get x-ray of the wrist. Most probably if it is a ganglion than it can be left alone. If it is causing you pain than you can ask it to remove surgically. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
