Hand Issue

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Titusville, FL

Hello. Yesterday I worked in my yard cleaning up weeds etc under my fruit trees. (Fun). Anyway last night I felt on my right hand on my palm, under my ring finger in between my "heart line" and "head line" now has a boney lump. It doesn't hurt unless I press on it like driving etc.
Does anyone have any idea what it is? I never noticed it before.
Thanks ☺️

I have a lump on my right wrist, but I've had it for months. Primary says she thinks it's a ganglion cyst because my X-rays showed the hardware in my wrist from surgery last year is perfectly intact. I'm seeing my wrist surgeon next week to get his opinion and see where we go from here...
I've already had 3 removed 🧑‍⚕️ in 2019. 2 from left wrist and 1 from my right butt cheek 🤦 I hope you get yours taken care of.

Oh my,! 😂 This is on my palm so I don't think slamming a book on it would help. Lol

I guess if it gets bigger I'll get it checked out. I just never had it before and you know when you look on "Dr Google" forget it lol

Sounds like what I have - a Ganglion cyst. It’s just below my ring finger knuckle. I had a doctor check it out because sometimes it’s painful. It comes and goes. I was told to just keep an eye on it.

I was on Dr Google, lol, and it says stress, trauma and arthritis. So yesterday probably caused it bc I was working really hard outside it what made it show up.
