Ray,

I really couldn't tell you what those cysts are. They could be cysts, they could be bone spurs, they could be knots that have developed in the muscles and tendons. Will you have to have them surgical removed? I don't know, that probably depends on what they are. You need to determine what exactly they are first, by seeing a doctor, and then, with a doctor, determine a course of action. If this was just a straight repetive strain injury, I would say that you could self-treat yourself with trigger-point therapy. However, these cyst-like things add a whole new spin on the situation.

As far as what kind of doctor you should go see, my recommendation is a doctor who specializes in bone and muscle health. Maybe a hand and wrist doctor. How long will your recovery take? Well, that depends on what is needed and how fast you personally heal.

I wish I could give you more to go on. Set an appointment tomorrow(today). You can not afford to put this off. And then email me and keep me posted on how you are doing.

Jim
