I have developed a lump/nodule at the base of my first finger, left hand.

It doesn't hurt when I move my fingers but if I press on it or catch it, when holding something, the pain is excruciating.

It seems to be getting bigger.

Does it need treatment of some kind?

It's ok, Sandy. I have just googled it and read the relevant information. I should have done that first. :-)
Almost certainly Heberden's Nodes..........Google it.

Associated with osteoarthritis.

Leave it alone.

Ah! if it is on the palm side of your finger then razza is correct, if it is not I am correct.....;-)

Palm side, Sqad. Looks like Razza has it.
