Two weeks ago, I woke up and the top of my right hand (surgery side) was swollen really big, it was hot to the touch and hurt really bad. I had been to the park the day before and figured I had gotten bit by something. The swelling went away about 3 days later and I just forgot about it. Now today, the same thing is happening, but I can also feel 3 pea size lumps on the top of my hand. They and the swelling is in between my pointer and middle finger, running upward to the middle of the top of my hand. It really hurts. I don't think I've ever heard of cancer going to your hand and the swelling isn't up my arm, so I'm not thinking lymphedema but he lumps have got me worried. Have any of you had this. I am going to go to the doctor Monday but I'm just hurting right now. Things always seem to happen on the weekends when the drs. office is closed. Does arthritis cause lumps like this any ideas?...sherryg
