Lump On Finger

[tinkerbell23]

Palm side , base of my index finger!

Sore when pressed or grasping things such as steering wheel- not visible to the eye but feels hard & painfull... Pea sized!?



Ganglion? What do you think! X

Splinter?

Sounds very similar to this posted earlier this week Tinks - see Sqad's reply.

I should have said Shaney's and Sqad's replies.

I saw those but also wondered if it was the start of Dupuytrens Contracture (like trigger finger). mainly because I got such a lump and this was what it was

[Mamyalynne]

Yes Prudie, another possible contender.

[tinkerbell23]

No nothing "in there" its a perfect hard little lump!

Thank you! Xx

[tinkerbell23]

[Sqad]

and the winner is........wait for it!.........wait for it!...............Prudie with Dupuytrens........and the inevitable link..;-)

Hi Tinks. I have something similar on the palm (lines up with ring finger) of my right had. I work for a chiropractic clinic so I asked one of the practitioners what it could be. She said it may be the start of trigger finger. Sounds quite like what you have hey?
Best wishes

Sounds like Dupuytrens to me. (Due to work strain?)

Left it till finger bent over, couldnt straighten at all.
After several ops, skin graft, had to have little finger amputated.

[tinkerbell23]

Iv been massaging it even though it hurts- i think its smaller!? Strange!!!!

Thank you all xx
