| I do. They found it doing a x ray on my thumb, the doctor said it's no big deal that I could have been born with it........unless it bothers me there is nothing that needed to be done. Now, my sister had one, she used her wrist a lot at her job and had to have it remaoved, it was no big deal for her. Good Luck! Angie |

| I have one. I was told that they could remove it but it would probably come back. mine has seemed to kinda go away on it's own...well...I haven't seen it or had problems with it in a couple of years anyway...so I have to wonder what happened. but it was always VERY painful so I can relate!!! Let us know what the dr. says!!!

| I have one too, The first time it appeared I went to my Dr. he took a syringe and drew out the fluid in it. That helped a lot as far as the pain, he told me at the time that they usually come back, and that surgrey is the only way to get rid of it forever! Sure enough it did come back, not as bad. He also told me that sometimes they can go away on their own if they are bumped, so now when I notice that it is coming back, I apply pressure to the area and it always goes away before it becomes so large to cause the pain. I really don't know if that is the answer, but it works for mine! Mine is on my right inside of my wrist, I believe it is from using the mouse.!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I had a small one on my finger and popped it 4 times before it went away. My sister had one the size of a baseball on her leg and had surgery to remove it.

| I had one a long time ago on the top of my left wrist. I was very young and played alot of sports so I had it removed because it was very painful for me. I had mine about 5 years before I had it removed so it had grown what the Doctor called "roots" which were up my arm. When it was removed I had my arm in a sling for over 2 months. Once it was removed I was fine and it has never returned.

| Yep, I've got one and I've had it for so long that I can't remember when it showed up. Its on the back of my right hand above my wrist in the middle. It doesn't bother me either. Doctor said it would come back if they operated. My MIL offered to slam the bible on it, lol. |

| Yep, I had one but mine was between the bones on my foot. It was over 30 years ago but I had it removed. I'm sure now it would be day surgery but way back then it was a couple of days stayin the hospital. Good luck.
