WTF IS THIS

Today while I was having dinner with my family, suddenly a huge bulge appeared out of nowhere on my left hand.

It was like, one minute there was nothing, then the other minute it just appeared!

The bulge is sized like a 10 sen coin, popping out like a f*cking gigantic pimple shit -_-

It doesn't hurt, is not painful, not itchy.
I can press it push it move it scratch it do all sort of things to it but it still feels the same like any other part of my hand, nothing especially painful or weird feeling about it.

But it's still there!!!
Poking out... being a standout among other parts of my hand... staring at me.. WOOT!

OMG WTF IS THIS @@"





the last pic wtf so obvious/disgusting/Zzz

Gonna see the doc if it doesn't disappear by itself in a day or two...





Feeling down cuz of this T.T

here's a forum topic I opened to inquire about it

latest update @4/6/09:
It's a Ganglion -__-"

"A ganglion cyst (also known as a bible bump) is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. The size of the cyst can vary over time. It is most frequently located around the wrist and on the fingers. The term "Bible Bump" comes from a common urban legend that treatment by pounding on the cyst with a Bible or another large book occurred in the past."

"Ganglion cysts are idiopathic, but presumably reflect a variation in normal joint or tendon sheath function. Cysts near joints are connected to the joint and the leading theory is that a type of check valve forms that allows fluid out of the joint, but not back in. The cyst contains clear fluid similar to, but thicker than normal synovial fluid. They are most often found around the wrist joint, especially at the scapho-lunate joint, which accounts for 80% of all ganglion cysts."

- Wikipedia

It says there that it's IDIOPATHIC, meaning that its actual causes are UNKNOWN in scientific terms, which kinda sucks -_-
I was hoping for some definite answers, and this is all i got =(


Settled it myself by hitting it with a hard cover book, as one of the methods mentioned to cure the thingy was exactly that... LOL


here's the book, and the towel where I put my hand on for the "operation" XD


The bump disappeared after hitting it hard with the book~

Woot! =P
