A member asked:
I have developed a hard lump and swelling on the joint of my pinky. its been there for a long time. what can be done to make it go away?

Might be arthritis: At age 49, one possibility is common arthritis. Although the pinky finger is less commonly involved, arthritis can cause bony lumps at the joints of fingers, and they are generally permanent.
