A member asked:
Why has middle finger joint grown the size of big pea the last 5 years. it sticks out on the side close to my nail?

Cyst/tophus: It's most likely a cyst/tophus. Have you been diagnosed with gout? Is it soft or bony? If bony may be an arthritic spur. Does it interfere with your daily activities? Bring it up at your next office visit with your PCP.
