I'm only as young as my bones
No arthritis! The bones in my hand are beautiful, smooth, and strong. I love my bones. They totally rock.
I may, however, have some sort of a growth on the joint, probably a cyst. It was hard to tell from the x-rays (and we went back to take additional shots to see) whether this was part of my bone, a sesamoid, or a soft tissue growth. I have an appointment for an MRI on Thursday. If it is a cyst, we will likely try a cortizone injection (ouch!) before considering any cutting.
Ha! I feel younger already! :)
