The lining of a joint or tendon gives rise to a small sac known as a ganglion, which typically develops when the tissues surrounding a particular joint become inflamed and swell with lubricating fluid.
Causes:

It is typically brought on by some type of joint trauma, though the exact cause may not always be clear.rheumatoid arthritisoccupational factors are important in the development of ganglion, and certain occupations, like those involving typewriters, that call for repetitive use of the wrist and fingers, put workers at risk for developing ganglion cysts.
Symptoms:
Ganglia are typically painless swellings that can develop around any joint, but the condition can become painful when the ganglion presses nerves. This pain can limit an individual’s range of movements and activity. They can grow in size or can disappear spontaneously.
