Hurting Hand - knuckle protrusion

[kpk]

i've not had this same issue, but i would suggest to add acupuncture to your healing regimen and to reduce that hand to a secondary position in your massage until you are healed.

i am experiencing the same pain.. think it is tendons as well.. overstretching or hyperextension..i have been icing too... what have you done to relieve the pain?

Sombra -- it does some amazing things.  Had a friend who saw it help heal a nasty bout of tissue damage in a guy who got gored by a bull.  Obviuosly he did not put it in the gored region, but the patient used it regularly for all of the surrounding tissue.  Doc's said he'd never walk normal again... but he did.  So pull out that sombra!

Now that its feeling better, maybe begin working with some low resistance strength putty. You can do some pretty creative moves with it & most of the packaging has at least a few suggestions.Hope you get well soon!Jill/Sagetherapist

i have the same thing - minus the pain thank goodness.  my situation is a tendon nodule.  neither of the nodules have been particularly painful, more like tender.   the first one was rather large & i had an orthopedic dr lance it.  it was simply filled with blood which came out and the left over was absorbed back into my blood stream.  the second was much smaller and i popped it myself.  the one i have now is farther down into the bone structure of my palm yet still the same finger - i've had a different dr try to lance it that didn't know what he was doing, it did get a little smaller but it's still there - i can see it when i look at my palm.  my game plan is self care and to watch it.  the orthoped recc surgery if they popped up again, but that isn't an easy option for a MT, especially if there's very little pain involved.good luck with yours and i know the pain will go away soon!

How's your hand coming along?  Can you work?  I hope you're well, give us an update.

2TreesWere you ever tested for the RA?  Another modality you might consider, Cranial Sacral Therapy.  It is very gentle and non invasive but very healing.  Sometimes, an energy cyst can develop and healing can slow or come to a complete stop.  What one tends to do is protect the injured area instead of building the trust that the area will heal.  I wish I could share the work with you.  I really believe it would be very helpful.  Good luckPS Love that Sombra

2Trees:May I ask which finger it is? Wondering if energetically you're holding onto something which may slow the healing process.

[/quote]Which finger though? Index, middle, fourth, pinky? And between which two fingers did the protrusion emerge? Thnx.

[quote author=2Trees link=board=IandI;num=1116470851;start=0#16 date=06/28/05 at 16:02:41]The pain is at the middle (fire) finger, and is very sharp.  The protrusion - which felt like bone - was located between the middle and pointy (air) but more towards the middle.  Thnx, to you  .[/quote]Is this on the palmer side? Somethings to consider from a reflexology standpoint: the middle finger is the healing finger, because it is the left hand it is the healing finger of your present (now), if it were the right hand it would be the healing finger of the past. The index finger is your communication finger, it is your communication finger of the present. I always get pain in my communication finger or toe on the left foot or hand when I am struggling voicing something to someone. Perhaps you are struggling communicating with someone in your practice? A client?It may also be a neuroma. Though they tend to feel more callused than bone-like.Is there any chance you suffered strain or injury to your collarbone around the same time this pain developed?

What works for you?  What doesnt?  Where are your boundries?  Can you say "no"?Are you being supported?I love CST.  If you get a chance to sit quietly, just hold the injuried finger gently with the opposite hand.  Close your eyes and follow the gentle undulations of the finger.  It will take you on a journey and it will be painless physically.  But, you could experience some insight to your pain.
