Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pointed Extra Growth On The Hand Below The Thumb?
I have a pointed growth on my bone at my wrist below my thumb. I only noticed it 6 weeks or so ago. It doesn t hurt but thought it might be a bone spur. I do have (what I think is) arthritis in my thumb. Is this something I should be worried about?
The symptoms seem to be related to arthritis of the finger. I suggest to check the rheumathoid factor level for further evaluation. I also suggest to do an X-ray of the thumb and see a rheumatologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
