Has anyone ever had a problem with, or heard of anyone having problems with cysts as a result of blacksmithing? I just went to see my doctor recently regarding a bump on my right hand at the base of the little finger and he diagnosed it as a ganglion cyst. He saw a direct connection between it and blacksmithing.
I am now taking an anti-inflammatory to help relieve it, but if it doesn't help, it may require surgery, which may prevent me from blacksmithing.
Anyone know anything about this?
