I saw the doctor on Monday. I have a little lump at the base of my thumb and I didn’t know what it was so I took it to the doctor. The first time I took it it had disappeared that morning and I was terribly embarrassed but this time I didn’t make the appointment until the last minute. Apparently it is a floating bone called a sesamoid bone which has formed near the joint and although it hurts sometimes they don’t do anything with it.
