What is this lump?

[Loosegoose27]

Been there since I dislocated it last year. Doesn’t always look that bruised, you can barely see it sometimes. Small amount of swelling

What it looks like most of the time

Lump on thumb

Could be a rheumatoid nodule. I used to get them in my elbows when working at a desk 8 hours a day. They would swell up and go down. Do you do anything that uses that part of your hand a lot?. Id mention it on your next appointment unless it changes significantly in the meantime.

Only typing and lifting boxes. It doesn’t have flare ups it’s just stayed consistent. Just when I was by the window the bruising was more significant however the bruising has gone down now. It sits right on top of the end of a bone so it’s a bit squishy but mainly hard, doesn’t move.

I would ask several people in your medical team. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you don't get several different answers - if so then it probably doesn't matter, but if they all think something should be done it's worth asking.
