i can't think of any reason why a cyst on your hand would cause tendinitis in your feet. the two conditions are completely unrelated. cysts are small self-contained sacs of fluid. they are not a systemic illness in any way. cysts do not travel through the bloodstream and affect organs or other tissues. there simply is no relationship between a cyst in one area of the body and illness or injury in another area. tendinitis in your big toe definitely could be influenced by your ballet dancing. defined as the inflammation of a tendon tendinitis often is caused by overuse or injury. the condition called "tennis elbow" is a classic example of tendinitis related to overuse. thus it's not at all out of line for your doctors to conclude your big toe tendinitis relates to your ballet activities and not to the cyst on your hand. there's no scientific evidence the two could be related. hope this sets your mind at ease!
i have a cyst in my right hand and as it grows the tendinitis in my right foot gets worse. is there a relationship? . the cyst is between my thumb & pointer finger and the tendinitis is near my big toe joint between the big toe & the toe next to it. i've had it drained once before & once drained the tendinitis went away. i'm a professional ballet dancer so most doctors instinctively think - "pointe shoes"; i know the shoes aggravate the tendinitis but the fact that as the cyst becomes more prominent so does the pain just seems like there might be a relation. any information would be greatly appreciated!
