I developed a hard bump in the plam of my hand. I had started a temp job in a factory and I never did that work before. So I figured that is what caused it. OK over the next month I got another cyst in the other palm.
I looked on the Internet thinking it might be a ganglion cysts, but it definately is a hard bump and attached. Now I keep getting them. I got three pea sized cysts and a few more tiny ones on both palms of my hand.
I looked around and it seems to match the definition of a "Giant Cell Tumor Of The Tendon Sheath" Which is benign, but this seems to be spreading.
I have no insurance so can't see a doctor. Whatever this is, isn't life threatening (at least not yet) so an ER is out. The thing is even if I could afford a doctor, I still couldn't afford surgery or even an X-ray, so I'm kind of stuck hoping I can hold out till I get a job.
Now there isn't any pain with them, except one of them seems to be radiating a bit of pain between my left hand index and middle finger.
Has anyone had an experience with this, or maybe can tell me what else it could be? I live in Chicago and keep trying to find a free clinic, but so far no luck.
