Hi All, the dang things went away when I started to go to the doctor. I find when I overwork the hand, they will appear again, the bumps..just not as bad. I am beginning to think it was the ganglion cysts that was mentioned. Right now I can't even feel the lumps but if I work out or mop, they will pop up again. They of course seem to come up over the weekend when doctors aren't open and go away the next day. I haven't been too worried because I've only had 2 really bad incidences with the hand swelling. If it happens again, Im going to try to get them seen about...sherryg683
