What's up with my hand..?!
Question:
What's up with my hand..?
On my right hand, at the base of my pinky side, the bone on that end sticks out slighly more than the bone on my left hand and it sort of hurts. I think this is due to over use of my mouse as my hand rubs against paper, (i lost my mouse pad and the glass on my desk is too smooth).
Can anyone tell me if the bone will go down if i discontinue using my mouse and is this a serious health problem for my hand?

Answers:
Sounds like some bone calcification took place from the trauma the joint took on that rubbing. Just like your skin will get thick if you use your hands alot, so will bones. I'd just give it a couple weeks to see if the pain gets better, use some ice on it and try some tylenol and if still no better see a Doc. I think the joint will stay the same size though if it is due to calcification, but the pain should get better if you discontinue the trauma.
