finger joint ganglion

When i bend my finger up and down and touch the joint of the finger with the hard lump on it , it seems like the lump seems to stay on the joint and it moves just a little, when i press on it. And also, when i press on the hard knot on the finger joint, it feels kind of like the joint is bigger on the outside under the skin in the joint. I think it burns now a little when i start pressing on the knot really much.

Hi everyone, I just discover a hard lump on my finger joint yesterday and I went to my nurse practitioner at college to get it looked at as soon as possible. They told me it might be a Ganglion Cyst but she did say so herself she wasn’t an expert in Orthopedics. I just wanted to post here to get more opinions on the matter. From all the pictures I’ve seen so far on Bouchard’s node it appears on both side of the finger but mine is only on one side.

In all probability you have a ganglion (cyst) or a neurofibroma. Both can cause pain in the wrist joint. A ganglion is a sac-like swelling or cyst formed from lining of a joint or from a tendon. A neurofibroma is a collection of nerve and fibrous tissue. If they are causing pain and pressure symptoms they need to be removed. Please consult your PCP to start with and get a referral for a surgeon. Take care!

on my right hand my pinky had two lumps on it one on the middle joint going towards my other fingers and the other on the top joint going the opposite way and it is sometimes sore to write my leg has a lump about my shin area i have been to the orthopedics but they can find anything and it has nearly been a year and a half and they keep saying take painkillers but they don't help and they are bad for your stomach and they are horrible to take.

I have developed a lump in the joint between my thumb and the finger next to it. It appears to be near the joint in the webbing of my thumb and is approx 1cm wide. My thumb is extremely painful if i accidently clip it against something or put any pressure on it. I occasionally get pins and needles in my hand and it may be disturbing the blood circulation. Any assistance is appreciated. It has similar symptons to a ganglion cyst but i am unsure if you can get them in this particular area.

I'm hoping I can get the answers I need here. About 4 yrs ago, I had a ganglion cyst removed from the palm of my right hand at the base of my ring finger. A few years ago, I found another one on the right hand on the middle finger in the middle joint. Doesn't bother me so I left it alone. Then about a year ago I got a lump on the top of my left foot that turned out to be ganglion also. Had it removed in Oct.

Ganglion cysts most commonly occur on the back of the hand, at the wrist joint and can also develop on the palm side of the wrist. Ganglion cysts arise from the capsule of a joint or the sheath of a tendon. They can be found at different places on the wrist. You can ask your specialist to rule out spurs by an X-ray, infections due to the symptoms of inflammation and also any lipoma or giant cell tumors with the help of scans and examination. You can consider surgery for a complicated cyst.

Now, I have gotten some bumps on my hand near a finger joint. It went away. But it looked different than that. After seeing it, what about a ganglion cyst? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ganglion-cyst/symptoms-causes/syc-20351156 Looks similar to me. Tell me what you think.

Followed up with family doctor in a week, another xray, he said yes cracked around middle joint (side of the middle joint that faces towards middle finger). However the next day he phoned and said no its not broken. About a month later went to physiotherapy which included ultrasound treatment and compressions stocking. This lasted about three to four months. In Spring of this year I had no improvement.

A ganglion or ganglion cyst arises due to repetitive use of joint or due to rheumatoid arthritis or sometimes without a cause too. It is usually a swelling in the tendon of a muscle. Please do not smash it with a book. It will cause more harm than good. Usually no treatment is required unless it becomes painful. It can be surgically removed then. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care!

They do arise in the joint , but may show up under the tendon sheath along a finger. No, this is not an ER kind of thing. Tell your doc next visit. If it keeps you from full use of your hand be seen earlier. Treatments include letting them be, injecting them with steroids, and surfgical removal, but they can always return. Old home remedy was to hit them hard with the Bible which would suddenly pop them, or, alternatively, to put the fear of God into them.

on my hand it is between first didgit nd middle finger on the area closest to first knuckle on middle finger, I am guessing its a cyst of some sort . It is becoming increasingly painful, no trauma was preceding this. I am just recovering from an anterior cervical discectomy w grafting and fusion and cant handle toughts of another surgery, Do you think this could be dealt with at a urgent care clinic? I had a cyst removed 15 years or so ago from oppisite hand at a clinic.

not as larger but rather flatter and wider..also my finger nail on this same finger is deformed...it has deep ridges. once in awhile there is hint of pain in whole area around lumps.. also seems finger nail is brittle,chippy just unhealthy nail. what does this sound like? first peasize bump is petruding from side of top joint of middle finger with second flatter bump just under nail bed. both lumps seem full of water but first peasized lump has gootten harder.

It moves back and forth when my middle finger is moved. It is hard, not painful, and has been there for over a year. It seems to be attached to the tendons in my hand, very strange. What in the world is it?

A ganglion cyst can occur anywhere that there is a synovial joint (joint with fluid); some sites are just more common than others. Basically, a ganglion cyst is just a leakage of fluid out of the joint into the surounding tissues, with a thin cyst wall. Ganglions can vary in size over time, and can increase or decrease in size. They can even go away on their own sometimes. Sometimes they cause pain, sometimes there is no pain.

I'm scheduled to have a ganglion removed from the back of wrist soon, but recently i accidentally smashed it and it moved about an inch from where it previously was and it is more painful now. Is this something I should have checked out before my date to have it removed?

INDICATION: Right knee pain, lateral meniscal tear COMPARISON: None TECHNIQUE: Axial T2 fat-saturated and proton density fat-saturated; coronal T1 and proton density fat-saturated; and sagittal T2 fat-saturated, proton density fat-saturated, and gradient echo MRI of the right knee . CONTRAST: None. FINDINGS: ACL and PCL: Intact. Collateral ligaments and posterior, lateral corner: Intact. Extensor mechanism: Quadriceps insertion is normal.

A few days ago, a hard immobile bump appeared on the back of my hand (barely seen but very obviously felt). Technically it may have been there a bit longer, but I usually notice things like this. Anyways, it is on the metacarpal of the pointer finger, and wraps around the side of the bone on the "thumb" side. It's about midway between the wrist and knuckle, making me thing it probably isn't a ganglion cyst.

In rheumatoid arthritis there is morning stiffness, joint pains and nodules under the skin. Ganglion cysts arise from the capsule of a joint or the sheath of a tendon. They are found at different places on the wrist and some ganglion cysts may be painful. Seek the opinion of a healthcare professional. After a clinical examination he/she may further refer you to a specialist. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!

s and still do. These are definitely not ganglion cyst. One of my fingers the right ring finger has a sensitivity to end of finger like I banged it or something just hurts inside. Doctor had no idea wanted to give me something for pain, said no as it is just minimal pain. Yet, when I search online all can see blisters or really raised areas, or rashes.

A mucous or myxoid cyst arises from degeneration in the connective tissue on the top of the last segment of the finger. It may connect with the joint at the end of the finger. A ganglion cyst is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. I would suggest a dermatologist’s evaluation for this. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Both can cause pain in the wrist joint. A ganglion is a sac-like swelling or cyst formed from lining of a joint or from a tendon. A neurofibroma is a collection of nerve and fibrous tissue. If they are causing pain and pressure symptoms they need to be removed. Please consult your PCP to start with and get a referral for a surgeon. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

lumps appear overnight sometimes and has one also on finger joint. doc did blood tests and biopsy. tried to remove one from arm but too deep inside. he thought viral from blood tests but biopsy said otherwise. he's now going to send to dermatologist, within six months. I'm worried, any ideas?

With your explanation of a ganglion cyst I understand that high movement involved in the joint could be the cause making sense of a work related injury. My believe is that I have developed this condition working and I'm determined to investigate if this can be true. It has been very desincouraging so I am very gratefull for your time already given.

My entire palm-side of my middle finger is purple from the 3rd joint up and has large purple growths from that point to my palm. Due to multiple surgeries, etc., I have considerable loss of feeling in the tip of my finger and cannot straighten it completely.

I have a rubbery like knot just above the knuckle on my middle finger. It doesn't hurt but is strange looking. Should I be concerned? What is it?

Went to ER. They did an ultrasound. Diagnosed Ganglion cyst. No hand specialist is available for a couple of weeks and I have to travel. Can't see anyone until early August. How serious is this? I consider surgery the last resort but if needed, who does it? Orthopedic surgeon? Dermatologist? At this point it doesn't look so bad but medical report said it has "intimate contact" with carpal joint (I am translating) which concerns me. No pain.

It has grown/spread from the pinky and third finger, to almost where the palm meets the hand. It is about 1/2 inch wide and very hard - does not move when prodded. There is no give to it whatsoever. I have full use of my hand/fingers, but am concerned that this is getting larger and may impact my health in some way. I am a teacher, work around the yardetc., so it is not calloused. I had an appendectomy many years ago, and this feels just like the scar tissue - no sensation! What should I do?

Hi, I've been searching the internet trying to figure what my problem is....thought it was carpal tunnel syndrome but today was at the point of wanting a doctor to treat it, and when I researched the actual symptoms of carpal tunnel, mine don't match at all. Luckily (thank you Lord!) my wrist relaxed and popped earlier today so I'm looking forward to sleeping well, finally. But, still trying to figure out what's actually the problem, and how to prevent.
