Suggest Cause & Medications For Lump In Finger
Yes I am a 49 year old woman and have just noticed a small pea sized fairly solid lump in the palm of my hand in the middle of the soft tissue at the base of my middle finger .I have had pain in both hands and up my arms since november and have been wearing braces at night which has helped to limit the pain.I have been waiting for my appointment to check for carpal tunnel and just discovered this lump. What could it be and what is treatment?

hi,greetings from HCM.It may probably be a subcutaneous nodule which is due to thickening of facia or subcutaneous tissue.You have to consult a physician and check for diabetes or connective tissue disorders which present with carpal tunnel syndrome.Best treatment is to consult a neurosurgeon or orthopedician and do carpeltunnel release and decompress the medial nerve
