Ganglion cyst more likely, you don't grow new bones suddenly......well a bonner perhaps. Easy check by your GP or a scan if really bothering you.

Short answer- yes, sometimes.
Longer answer is complicated. But there are reasons why some places ossify and others don’t.
As you rightly have decided- if it’s not causing continual problems- risk:benefit of surgery is more risk sided than benefits.

Do extra little bits of bone just appear with middle age? I have an extra small bone in my right wrist which has been causing me some bother in the last couple of years. I'm quite curious whether it's new or it's always been there and just hasn't caused me any trouble in the preceding decades.
