I have on both my arms halfway between my wrists and elbows 7 cysts on each arm that I can feel. They are almost in a line with the last ones about 25cms from my armpits. I have seen my doctor about them because of the pain I was having with a couple of them. He says they aren't of any concern, but if I wanted to I could have them removed by another specialist. I'd like to hear from anyone who has these lumps and what you've had to do about them. Alongside the lumps I have tingling in my hands, and sometimes my hands feel swollen. I open and close my hands a lot to keep the blood flowing. My mum, two sister, and two brothers have them as well.

My husband had these as well as the hand numbness. He just went into a specialist and had them removed. No problems since then.

Thank you for your reply, but what sort of specialist did he have it done by?

Because of the numbness in his hands he went to a hand/wrist surgeon but we were told any surgeon can take them out.
