Not so much a personal thing, but I've got a cyst on my 3rd finger under the knuckle. It makes my finger ache when I play for too long and too fast. N I went to the doctors about something else n just happened to mention it. The doc said that I could have an op to have it removed. But there would be one big draw back to it. There was an extremely high risk the op would damage some muscle of something, so I wouldnt be able to use that finger ever again. I nearly had a heart attack. But the doc said I didn't need the op if I didn't want as it she said it wont get any worse. I'm pryin to god it doesn't!!!
