It is not cancer but something else kindly consult your medical consultant. You may, I repeat may have a problem with the blood vessel in that area or the nerve.\n Get your heart also checked.\n \nPlease do not waste your time seeking advice on the Internet from ignorant people like me.

Syptoms of Carpal Tunnel\nSymptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic and/or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away. Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.\nHow to treat Carpal Tunnel...\nTreatments for carpal tunnel syndrome should begin as early as possible, under a doctor's direction. Underlying causes such as diabetes or arthritis should be treated first. Initial treatment generally involves resting the affected hand and wrist for at least 2 weeks, avoiding activities that may worsen symptoms, and immobilizing the wrist in a splint to avoid further damage from twisting or bending. If there is inflammation, applying cool packs can help reduce swelling. \n\nFor more information: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/carpal_tunnel/detail_carpal_tunnel.htm#51813049

I had one removed from my left and right hands.  One at a time.  The haling time is realistically about a couple months...a few weeks of pain and stitches...then there is a pain when lifting too much weight, or bumping the hand in that spot.  It hurts; just bask for some good pain meds.  Make sure you keep it elevated...REMEMBER...IMPORTANT; while you are sleeping; hanging around, because if you don't it will get even more swollen than it will be already, from the surgery, itself.  Ask the surgeon if you can see it.  It looks like a spider; be glad it's gone.  Good luck to you.  You will be fine.  get it out before it gets any bigger; one of mine was, and it still hurts; it's been 3 months.  It is better every day.  It is a standard procedure; very quick...20 minutes for the surgery, itself.  Don't fret.  relax.

Hi There\n\nHere are some ideas to consider healing your issue. A lot of info here, but worth reading. The Incuralbles program would be the most beneficial for long term. #10 and #16\n\nBrain Tumors: The most common tumors of the brain are the meningiomas, derived from the coverings of the brain, and the gliomas. Sarcomas and cancers do occur but are almost always derived from tumors in other parts of the body, for example, the breast and the bowel. Tumors of any size and duration produce certain general symptoms indicative of an increase in the intra cranial pressure, namely, headache, vomiting and optic neuritis or swelling of the optic nerve just as it enters the eyeball. Dizziness is another common symptom, and in the late stages mental changes may occur. In tumors of the frontal lobe mental changes are sometimes the earliest indication of the disease process. Tumors of the temporal lobe often produce a dreamy state, sometimes associated with hallucinations of smell. The position of the tumor may often be determined by noting the muscular and sensory abnormalities of various parts of the body and correlating the findings with what is known regarding the localization of function in the brain." \n\nThe brain must be properly nourished and kept free of inorganic materials that can cause this tremendous organ to malfunction. \n\nCause \nThe inability to eliminate unhealthy material. \n\nHundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them. For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium. \n\nCysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on. \n\nThis is why so many patients brought Dr. Christopher cysts and tumors in various sizes that they had expelled from their bodies. There is not enough food, in the form of dying or deficient body materials, so they just decide to leave. \n\nThere are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium. \n\nWhen cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating. \n\nHerbal Aids \n1.General Instructions: Rebuild tissue so the body can slough off the tumor accumulation. This is done by toning the body generally with alternatives. \n\n2.Scrofulous Tumor: See formula using plantain leaves, fumitory herb, yellow dock root, white r

I suppose it depends...i had it done on my right hand,then my left 2 months later.Both times i returned to work 3 days later.Not by choice,we had to eat,but i did fine.Unless you have very small wrists,they go in at the palm of your hand,at the lifeline...maybe that made a difference with my recovery also.\nHowever,carpal tunnel was not the only problem.  I have thoracic outlet syndrome...I can't seem to find a doc to help me.\nIt has become very painful.Most of the symptoms feel the same,only my hands don't stay numb and tingly,they BURN.it extends to the neck and shoulders and causes migraines and a lot of misery.....If there are any questions about your nerve conduction studies or other tests you may have had done ,you may want to mention thoracic outlet to your doctor.Physical therapy can help a lot if it doesn't get too advanced.\nGood Luck with surgery...It will be worth it in my opinion.It did fix my CT :)

Dustbegone is right. Pain and numbness are symptoms of nerve compression. Other possible things you might experience include weakness of your fingers as well as a tingling sensation as if there are ants are crawling over them. These signs are often most obvious when your arm's been immobile for a few hours such as when you wake in the morning like in your case.\n\nCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common form of nerve compression in the arm and is due to involvement of a nerve called the median nerve in the wrist joint. This typically occurs in women aged 30-60 and other risk factors include previous wrist injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and premenstrual fluid retention. \n\nIf CTS is what you have, you probably will have noticed that your little finger is not affected like the rest. If you have accompanying pain in your neck, then the other possibility is cervical spondylosis ie. degenerative changes of the neck.\n\nI suggest you see your doctor who will be able to tell you more after he examines your hand for the precise distribution of involvement and confirm the diagnosis. CTS is a common and benign condition and treatment is usually straight forward. Splinting of the wrist with a brace as Dustbegone mentioned can be very helpful. If symptoms persist, a "H&L" injection or simple surgical procedure to release the pressure on the median nerve may be considered.

My friend had benign tumors that grew in her arms. Go see a doctor!

Fatty tumors (lipomas) rarely are cancerous.  They're common in older people.  If they are in the muscle they can affect motion and can be painful if they get big.  I had one and got it cut out, my leg hurt for weeks.\nIf the doctor can't find any cause, look at your diet.  Leg pain can be caused by excessive consumption of diet drinks containing nutrasweet.  Cut out all nutrasweet consumption for 6 weeks and your pain will go away.

I had it in both hands and both at the same time, this was done in 83 at that time they cut my hands with a scalpel and recovery was real long, it took a year to lift weights again and certain, now days, it is a piece of cake, it is done by laser, and recovery is a very short period. Once it is done, no problems, all gone and you will sleep again and your hands feel normal. depending how bad your problem is will depend on the recovery period, you will  do things real soon, but hard work might have to wait a couple months. word of advice, get it done and over with, or it will get worse, that is why mine was so bad, and my recovery so long, I just let it go way too long. I wish they had the laser when I had it done. My friend had it done recently and she was doing allot in a few weeks. Once healed, you can do anything you want. Good Luck to you.

Nerve damage, which is what it sounds like, is a very slow healer, at approximately 1/4" per year.  This means that the pain is probably not going to go away and or scar tissue may have developed and have it pinched, which is why you can move it and it pop or relieve pressure temporarily.  It may also have developed a neuroma, a bubble on the nerve, that has to be surgically removed, but I do not recommend this as it is usually a temporary fix, and had the choice to do it over, would not elect to do so, the pain actually became worse not better.  I'm sorry for the pain suffering, I live in chronic pain and it is very frustrating that we have so medical advancement, and yet so little for chronic pain.
