Ok after 3 days Im gonna ask a medical question

[olevetonahill]

Ive held off from asking this cause , well hell I kinda know you pervs :O
Have at the jokes and stuff , hell I would .
But on my right wrist , 3 days ago a small knot started on my right wrist , now the thumb looks swollen , the damn knot has went from pencil eraser size to about a quarter .:eek:
WTF ?
I know, Im gonna call the VA in the AM , but Im finally gettin a tad worried .
Dont know if it has a thing to do with it , But that Knot is showing up at end of a 6 inch scar from my elbow to my wrist :eek:
Thanks for listening , and all jokes are appreciated

[Mongo]

Congradulations! You are the first person to self-infect themselves with syphilis.

Sounds to me like truama happened to the wrist and the swelling is moving south to the thumb. is anything bruised?

[Frozen Sooner]

Gonorrhea.

[picasso]

hit the sink?

[olevetonahill]

On the So there is some very smart advice , then theres the rest of of us :eek:
That knot thingy is growing Now :eek:
Hell I was hoping it was just the clap
serious tho it went from a # 2 pencil eraser size Friday to over 3/4 of an inch tonight . It dosnt hurt and ( oh shat here i go ) its not hard

[Mongo]

Are there bursa sacs in the wrist? You bust one of those, the surrounding area will fill with fluid.

[olevetonahill]

hit the sink?
I had to think there for a second , But its on the Inside of the wrist , so I dont think so :eek:

[Preservation Parcels]

It may be a cyst. I had one on the back of my wrist a while ago, and it just went away by itself after a while. I had been doing a lot of computer work at the time. It got to be the size of a half marble, but it didn't ever hurt. The doctor said the treatment for it used to be smacking it with a heavy book, but they just left them alone nowadays. Mind didn't grow that quickly, though, and it wasn't at the end of a scar. It would be worth having the doctor look at it.

Naw that aint it . there is a vein or sompun right there , the pad ? of the thumb has become about 3 times bigger than the left thumb tho

I really dont know , I can see the veins in my left arm and wrist . but on my right it Nada .
Oh well , Do any one have any knowledge of that carpel tunnel stuff ?

[Mongo]

No, but 1TC does, he's been in a slump here lately.

If it goes from elbow down, then it could be an elbow problem. Just get it checked old man, while your at it, get your prostate checked too. But make sure that both of the doc's hands arent on your shoulders as he is doing the exam.

Go to an urgent care clinic, man. You may have an infection and if it's spreading that quickly you don't want to mess with it.

He brought in Bubba I had 4 Hands On my shoulders , I was Prostrate :eek:

Hell Bro I been drinkin ( go figure ) :D
DIL is asleep , and I dam sure aint callin a ambulance .
Im just a tad concerend about the grotwh of it this short a time ., No red streaks , No pain , that I know of of
I have had a busted bursa (sp) sac in that elbow , but its never went south , then headed north .
But I will go to the VA in the AM , or rather what I call the Am :D

[OUHOMER]

damn, yea you better get to the doc. Maybe you better start using the other hand, you know trade off every now and than.

[Okla-homey]

You should prolly jam an ice pick right into that knot, then squeeze out whatever is in there. Put that ooze on a cloth blessed by a hoodoo woman, bury it in the backyard, turn around three times, and burn a fattie. If that doesn't cure it, repeat, but use a dead chicken instead of a cloth.

Seriously, just go to the dang doctor OV.

[Rogue]

You should get that looked at.

And, in the meantime, ice and elevation are your friends when you have inflammation and swelling. Seriously. :D

[BoogercountySooner]

I bet it's one of these old bud a Ganglion Cyst. You will live if it is!

http://www.emedicinehealth.com/ganglion_cyst/page12_em.htm

[crawfish]

I think it's a tumor.

[Mjcpr]

I bet it's Limp-foama.

[Sooner_Bob]

Spray some Windex on it!

[Howzit]

When olevet roughs up the suspect...

:les: ...HE ROUGHS UP THE SUSPECT!!!

[OUDoc]

Rub some dirt on it. ;)



Hope it's not too late. :eek:
If it doesn't hurt and isn't red, I would be less suspicious of infection, although the rapid increase in size might indicate that. A ganglion cyst would fit the description if it were more firm, but I've never seen them grow that fast. It's almost got to be a fluid-filled cyst. If you're still with us this AM, let us know how it's looking. Good luck. :D

[Howzit]

Ah. The old ganglion cyst trick.

[MamaMia]

I don't think its life threatening, but this does not sound good.
I hope hes at the doctors office.

[sooner_born_1960]

I don't think its life threatening, but this does not sound good.
I hope hes at the doctors office.
Are you kidding? "First thing in the morning" is around noon for olevet.

[OUinFLA]

Could you please bring a Certificate of Health next time you come down?
Either that, or don't expect to shake my hand.
Oh, and bring your own styro drinking cups.

[SoonerStormchaser]

IT'S NOT A TUUUMAH!

[olevetonahill]

Ok Im still kickin , It didnt get any bigger over nite , I cant find any spots that might be a source of drainage , but hell what do i know .
It doesnt hurt , still no red , Im gonna make an appoinment with the VA . hell they will give 14 differant kinds of meds , and do every test you can imagine .
Thanks guys !

[8timechamps]

First, ask Norm. He had a small troll living in his leg.

Seriously, you gotta get that looked at! It could be nothing, or it could be something as major as a blood clot. Either way, I wouldn't go poking the damn thing.

[OUDoc]

Either way, I wouldn't go poking the damn thing.
Dean would.

[olevetonahill]

Dean would.
Naw hed use a chainsaw

[OUinFLA]

Naw hed use a chainsaw

Obvious solution: Go see Dean.
You might take some two cycle mix to compensate him for his time and trouble.

[OU Adonis]

Does it burn when you pee?

[royalfan5]

Can you get gout in your hand?

[picasso]

drink 2 gallons of water.

and don't pee.

[crawfish]

Does it burn when you pee?

If so, he should hold his wrists up a bit higher.

[Chuck Bao]

Good luck there vet!

I've got something somewhat similar for two weeks already and my skin specialist doc says he hasn't seen anything like it - a one inch wide by six inch long hard non-cyst attached to my back shoulder blade.

My wild *** crazy theory is that it is in the food supply. They are pumping so much growth hormones into chickens that we'll all start sprouting chicken feathers or a chicken wing in my case.

[SicEmBaylor]

Walk it off.

[homerSimpsonsBrain]

And put the cigarette down!!!1!1

Does it look like this...

[Chuck Bao]

Heh! More like...

...Kuato. But my chicken wing doesn't talk.

But, we need to focus on concentrating our joint chicken-healing powers on vet.

[Oldnslo]

...and if you don't quit beating off, you'll never get rid of that tennis elbow!

[Partial Qualifier]

serious tho it went from a # 2 pencil eraser size Friday to over 3/4 of an inch tonight . It dosnt hurt and ( oh shat here i go ) its not hard

THAT'S WHAT *SHE* SAID

[olevetonahill]

Me thinks the mystery is solved , I woke up when ever it was , Hell after I went to sleep last .
My head itched ( the one that is above my shoulders ) Pervs ,
I scratched the spot and a lil hunk of metal came Out :eek:
Really tho the last 4 or 5 years small hunks of Gook metal have been exiting My skull .:eek:
My Vet son asked me once " Dad is that metal in your head causing the thingies to go off at the airports " ? Hell for a long time after (-11 I wouldnt even go near an airport .
So Im convinced Now it was a drainage situation
Thanks for the concern
Oh and I am so Inebreated :D

[MamaMia]

You should still go to the doctor.

[olevetonahill]

You should still go to the doctor.
