Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Interesting, I know how I got this. I injured my hand, and then it showed up.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yes, my sister has had one on her wrist removed three times, and it probably will come back again. I had one on my heel. They injected it with something, it went away. That was 15 years ago. No problem since then.
