Actually, I might be able to help you out here over the internet....

Just a couple of quick questions:
Are you married?
Have you noticed hair growing from your palms recently?
Is your vision getting worse?

Sounds like a case of Wanker's Wrist.

That'll be $700.

I'm with KG... have seen similar things at work... on OTHER people... so a trip to the doc is your best bet. Me? well I'm married so I'm off to find my wrist splints and palm shaver... damn! where are my glasses

Seen one on a friend of mine. We hit it with a heavy book and it went away. it was on his wrist too. I don't think Harry Potter will work. Try Moby Dick or Websters Dictionary.

Now that was funny! Thanks for making me laugh!!!

My pleasure, Raul. But, before you judge this poor man too harshly, I beg you to learn a little more about this tragic affliction...

Wanker's Wrist

First diagnosed in 1893 by Dr. Richard (Dick) Wanker. Typical symptoms include the aforementioned poor eyesight & oddly hairy palms. Most often brought on by chronic Nuptualis Non Coitus in males over 30 with access to the internet.

Although with new breakthroughs in online technology, to wit: "Hands Free Scrolling;" the once prolific syndrome (almost reaching pandemic proportions in 1998) has now been reduced to only a few sad cases in some of the more remote areas of the civilised world and, of course, Australia.

Thankfully there is now a support group for those tragic few that have to live in shame in our society.

Bob is right, it is a ganglion cyst. I have one on my wrist also. There are a few ways to get rid of them. First go to a doctor and have him cut it out. This is the best way because it shouldnt come back. Second drink some whiskey and have a friend or girlfriend whack your hand with a phone book. Or third be like me and let it get big then hit something that makes your wrist jerk back real hard and it will pop. Having the doctor take it out is the best way because it shouldnt come back for awhile. If you just bust it, it comes back after a while. Mine is actually hurting this morning.

Anyways hope this helps.

Instead of hitting it hard, push slowly. You'll feel the liquid squirting out of the lump into the rest of your wrist. Pretty cool/gross.

My wife had one (now I'm back to wanking myself

) but, after repeated squeezings, it did eventually go away.

Good luck with it.

If you had 2 of these you'd have to go for professional advice at the DOHC site, not the SOHC site. hee hee

You sure that ain't the back of yer elbow! Couldn't tell from this computer.

If it is a ganglion cyst you can either whack it to pop it or stick a needle into it and squeeze it.

I did that once- in high school.
It was several days before i regained conciousness.
Go to a freakin dermatologist.

I don't know what you must have thought to bring this problem to this bunch. A few have given sound medical advice(go see a "real" doctor). That book remedy looks painful.

I wonder if it would hurt as much if you used the Honda Common Service Manual?

See?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2008, 08:21:03 AM »

OK, sound medical advice.....

Wipe a pin down with alcohol and poke the damn thing! Or use a syringe obtained at your local pharmacy for a quarter. It's sterile. What do any one of you guys think a doctor is going to do other than stick it with a syringe?! As Roger waters tells us, "just another pin prick".

Umm, isn't that line immediately followed by the sound of screaming?

"Relax......... Just another pin prick......... There'll be no more <insert screaming sound>........ but you may feel a little sick........"

....... try that one after getting "comfortably numb".
