Q: Ques About My Finger?

Well about a couple of months ago I noticed a bump in the inner top of my index finger. Does that makes any sense? Well it has been getting bigger. It feels hard and it's like a small beebe in my finger. I can move it up and down it's weird. Well it bothers me sometimes. I am just curious to know what it is and how it came about. I need to go see my doctor about it. Thanks for your time.

The only thing I could think of would be either a callus or a bone spur...But neither of those would "move up and down". So I guess I can't help you, sorry. But if the bump is bothering you then you should definitely go to the doctor. Maybe he could remove it for you?

What about a cartilidge or calcium build up?

My friend had something similar on her leg.. But hers was huge, it got to the size of a softball and it moved around too. Eventually, she had it removed. I can't remember if hers was cartlidge or a calcium build up.. I'm thinking hers was cartlidge.. But yours sounds more like a calcium build up.
