Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hello to all. I am brand new to this group. Leading question: I have what some have diagnosed as the bible disease. Its my little finger, which has a growth on the tendon just above the first joint and second. Its a hard lump, that seems to be attached to the tendon there. My finger has been locked at a 90° angle for about 6 years. No forceing it beyond that, but no pain if left alone. Called the bible disease, as the old timey cure was to place hand on a taple, and slam a bible down onto it to break the issue. I love my bible, but no thanks. Any suggestions for a natural cure? An Orthopedic friend suggested removal of the finger. YUK> Said it would eventually cut off circulation and cause more sever problems. I have a few others starting, but not serious as yet. I think it is from so many years of chopping, splitting my own firewood. Anyhow, I would really appreciate any suggestions, recipes, or ideas. From what I have read, there is serious potential help here. Wish I could say how much I would appreciate any help. words fail me other than sincerely thank you. jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It sounds like your friend was diagnosing a ganglion cyst, which is a hard lump coming out of a joint because the synovial fluid is leaking out and stretching the cartilage into a kind of water balloon. That's what is called a Bible Bump, anyways. If your problem is on the tendon, then that may be a different thing. If it is indeed a ganglion cyst then you're in the right place, I had one and the DMSO cured it in about a week. > > Hello to all.
