It doesn't hurt or anything, it's just really obvious because I have really thin boney hands so it looks like I have a bit of a bone end sticking out...   Has anyone else ever had one? I know you're meant to hit it with a big book to get rid of it, but funnily enough that doesn't sound appealing to me. So I was just wondering how long it will last if I don't get it treated?

Replies Micus Posted at 12:52 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 I had one for months. My mom kept trying to pop it but it hurt too much. it went away on its own, though and didn't hurt unless i messed with it. If it doesn't bother you I suggest you just like let it chill. greeneyedbeauty Posted at 12:13 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 Yeah I've had one.
