First Q...in my left hand (palm) by my ring finger (by my knuckle, but on my palm)...well underneath the skin there is a hard bump and I can move it. Does anyone have any clue to what it is?
2nd Q...lately I've been getting sharp pains by my left shoulder blade. I get a constant, steady dull flow of pain that I can barely feel and every once in awhile I'll get a stabbing pain by my shoulder blade that spread down my back, towards the middle of my back, up into my shoulder and neck and head, underneath my arm...it's only on my left side and doesn't cross over to the right. When I get it, it also goes down my arm and into my pinky and I get a tingly feeling.
Like I said, I KNOW I should go see a doctor and I plan on it...I'm just curious to see what it could be. Sorry if that all sounds confusing...

The hand thing is probably just a ganglionic cyst.
The shoulder blade neck hand thing is probably a herniated cervical (neck) disk.

this sounds like a cyst...these can be painful, especially in thatregion as we are constantly using our hands. It may burst on it's own, but the Dr can also remove the fluid in there. with a needle aspiration..it sound painful, but he'll numb you so you won't feel it. There is also the possibility it may continue to increase in size, so plz see your Dr...you'll be glad you did.

A - 1: THis may be a corn.
A - 2: Difficult to say. See an orthopedic doctor. Sometimes it may be ( i repeat maybe, I am not a doctor, I have just seen similar case with one of my friend), due to spondilitis.

It sounds like you have a pinched nerve somewhere. It's not pleasant but not life threatening. The bumps are associated with arthritis and they are hurmless.

2. herniated disc at base of neck (C7-T1)
