Having my finger buttholed tommorow..

[BelemNole]

any advice?

They're actually going to jab my thumb with a really big needle to drain a ganglion cyst so it's really almost true. My thumb will have a new orifice...

None. T's & P's though.

Ask if you can record it, then post the video.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Umm....we're gonna need to see pics of the cyst bro.

Wifey talks about her Doctor dad slamming a big heavy book down on cysts to break them up. I never had a chance to meet the guy as he died young, but I like his style.
See if they will give you a jar full of cyst-ness, Belem. That would be awesome on the shelf. Imagine the colors...

That's funny, I told my Dr that my dad had one on his wrist once but that it wasn't operated on - he says "let me guess, someone hit it with a book?" I was shocked, had no idea that was a thing, thought dad was just telling stories.
Because mine is growing on the joint they recommend against hitting it with a book...

Hah, not many have heard of that technique these days. One of my brothers has had several big ones taken out of his back and apparently he caught a whiff of one of them. He said it was overwhelming.
Good luck.

I had a ganglion on my wrist..It would bust on its own after a few weeks. That occurred about 4 times over the course of a couple years.The last time it came back I had surgery on it. Hasn't been back since and that's been about 5 years..

The book method bursts the cyst, but the sac is still there so it will likely come back. Need to remove the sac.

Its over a joint....is it near the fingernail of your thumb?
There’s something called a “synovioal or mucoid” cyst which is actually a part of the capsule around the joints.

That is awesome. Speculation is they were drinking...

It's between the knuckle and the fingernail, but creeping up over/around the knuckle. It's been there a few months, growing. But now it's starting to bother me.

So I do not have a new butthole in my thumb. Turns out my GP was wrong and the lump is not fluid filled but a mass of some sort. Most likely benign but will have to be carved out of me. So hitting it with a book would only have left me with a sore(er) thumb. Still, feel free to hit yourselves with books and post the results here.

Nobody has books anymore. Will a Kindle or iPad work?

 

[BelemNole]

Stack of christmas catalogs will work.

Massive thumb. Impressive.

Ever see the youtube channel of the Dr who drains and posts? Dr Pimple Popper. Its a thing.

I had one on the top of my wrist for years. I asked my ortho at the time (an FSU grad by the way) if he would operate on it while I was under for shoulder surgery on the same side. Wasn’t sure if he would do it, but woke up in recovery with my wrist bandaged and the cyst gone.

I have had two infected lipoma cysts on my back. They swelled like a grapefruit and hurt like hell.

 

[HerdOfNoles]

Had a cyst on back years ago, my MD removed it under a simple local. He chatted about his new boat and F-350 he used to pull it all through the procedure. The cyst had tentacles so that sent it out for pathology. I'm good

So you didn't get a finger butthole and the other guy didn't get his butthole fingered.

This week has been a let down.

What is a finger or butt to do? Like, wait around, or what?
