Has anyone mentioned a glomus tumor? I had one removed from the pad of my thumb last Spring. It feels like a small lump, is quite painful when your finger gets cold and is extremely painful if you accidentally strike your thumb against something, especially hitting the thumb nail itself.
Even though it's called a tumor it's not cancerous, but it can grow back after removal if they do not get it all out. Glomus rumors are not very common. I've been a RN for 27 yrs and had never heard of it until I started searching the Internet with my symptoms. My hand surgeon quickly confirmed the diagnosis.
