Hi this is my first post and looking for any help anyone can give. I have a very painful cyst about one inch down from where my middle finger joins my palm. It seems to be growing to the left at a downward slant angle. About eight months ago my rheumy said I had polymyalgia rheumatica and now more recently RA which causes pain in fingers and wrists, but the cyst only came up a month ago. He now says it is DC. I am really not in denial about the DC because I realize it could be even something worse, but everything I read says the DC is not painful and this is, plus so far it does not seem to be growing up towards my finger but slanted rather downward between the two top "lines" in my palm. Does this fit with way DC starts out? Any help is appreciated. Also, what can a hand specialist do about the pain? I am on Pred for the RA and it does not seem to be helping the cyst pain at all. Any help is appreciated. Paula

This has all happened in the last three months, went from nothing to two nodules on each palm in exact same place, very very painful, really wondering if its not symptomatic of some underlying cause...anyway, thanks again.
