1427077 tn?1282913207 I have a lump on the top joint of my index finger which has been there for about 2 months now. Sometimes its sore but now always & its starting to get bigger. Is it worth getting it checked out?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I'm 57 and developed arthritis in the last few months. My right pinkie finger has swollen to the point that it looks and feels like it's broken. It's the middle joint between the hand knuckle and the nail knuckle. There's now a lump or "knob" where it feels broken. I even have to be careful drying my hands because if I forget to "guard" the joint and bend or twist the finger accidentally, it's very painful.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn i have noticed a lump in the middle of my middle finger, its sore and moves from side to side, then a day or two later i noticed another a bit higher up, just as painful, can u help?
Avatar n tn it is about 1cm long and protrudes from the inner portion of her pinky slightly above the main joint where the finger bents (not the joint by the nail). it is painless and i went online and searched and searched and i'm pretty sure it is a giant-cell tumor, which is supposed to be benign. my question is, do you think she should get it removed or just let it be. the problem is, it seems to be a pretty invasive procedure and my mom would rather just let it be if it is going to be benign.
Avatar n tn 16 days after ***** accidently hit the small hard lump as well as slightly overflexing joint. Now slight pain upon mornings initial flexions of the joint. As day goes on feels better as I use it. Come mornining, pain and stiffness again until its used. The area is not red, hot. Can fully flex and straighten. Would say very slightly swollen compared to other hand. I'm thinking hot/cold compresses?
Avatar f tn Last year in July I hurt my ring finger on my right hand. It was due to catching a ball which struck the finger. I had pain throughout the finger, couldn't bend the joint closest to the finger nail. Xrays were taken at the ER and they suspected a crack on top of the joint that is located above the knuckle and also to the inside of this same joint (facing the middle finger). I did see my family doctor a week later and another xray was taken.

Avatar m tn The exact location of the injury would be the middle pinkie joint that is right along side the ring finger. This happened two months ago, I haven't been to the hospital yet because this is a common injury in the trade. So far the swelling subsided barely, but there is a small lump on the inside of the pinky. It hurts (9/10) when any pressure is presented. I have decided to buddy tape the finger for the past 2 days. I have to admit there is a lot of discomfort and some pain(3/10).

Avatar n tn Hard painful lum noted on top left hand below wrist and in line with index and middle finger. Very painful when bumped and with flexion. Pain with burning, throbbing to wrist, hand, and fingers as well. Same bump on right hand but not painful at present. Bump is firm and feels like bone. Any thoughts what it could be?

Avatar m tn It showed no signs of injury other than paint until last week. 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.
Avatar f tn I have a lump on my jaw just below my ear lobe. It doesn't hurt just looks like I have a gland swollen. Does anyone have any suggestions to what this might be??? I have an appointment next week to have a CT scan done but was wanting to maybe find some ideas before I have it done.
494623 tn?1278279352 Late 2007 I got a sore finger index finger at the last joint I thought Hmmmm! but little more, it went away after a few days,then March 2008 I got out of bed one morning and could hardly walk my feet were so painful from that day forward I have had pain every day my feet were burning so hot it was unbearable, the palms of my hands were suddenly very red I was very fatigued and would fall asleep if I sat down for any length of time ......
Avatar n tn ) These bruises cause an immediate intense, hot pain and sometimes itch. Finally, in one spot where I got one of these reactions, the top joint of my little finger, there is now a pronounced hard lump; this could have been there before and I didn't notice it until I had the pain. Finally, and potentially completely unrelated, I was recently diagnosed with Lichen's Sclerosus. Does any of this make any sense to you?
1310582 tn?1273606023 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?
Avatar f tn Two years ago, I noticed a small lump in the same spot. My doctor, a rheumatologist, and a neurologists examined it and classified it as a ganglion cyst.The lump would get smaller from time to time, but would never go away completely. In the last 6 months, the pain has intensified. Up until now, I only had x-rays of the wrist that showed nothing. Last week, I had an ultrasound that showed "a probable complicated ganglion cyst.
1311724 tn?1273689335 anyway you would be advised to visit your GP,My brother has had a lump removed from his finger which was making his finger bend into the hand and it couldnt be straightened and was aching when it bent over.

Avatar f tn ve been having minor pain in the smallest joint on my fourth finger on my right hand. Because I work seven days a week during the school year, I never saw the doctor. But it started getting worse. It hurts, if my fist is closed, to bump the knuckle from above. It also hurts to stretch my fingers out (laying flat is okay, but if I try to stretch them at all, it hurts).
Avatar f tn All of a sudden the piece of skin in between my thumb and finger has become stiff. I don't think it would be trigger finger but i might be wrong. It won't go either. What can I do? It's hard to stretch my thumb away from the hand and spread my fingers without it hurting.
