Not all of the nodules are rheumatoid... My left wrist was "covered with them. A little known fact: some of them are because of a mineral deficiency! Most doctors will tell you that's baloney, but I proved it to myself. After paying a few hundred dollars to have a bunch of them drained, I heard a doctor Paul Wallach speak.. He said vitamins are good, but minerals are just as important. Didn't know I had a mineral deficiency until I heard from him, and also confirmed on a website: Iamperfectlyhealthy.com that this is the reason for many of those puss-filled bumps. I started taking chelated minerals without iron, and they haven't come back since. Can't blame the doctors.. With all that they have to know about health, they may take about 1 hour on nutrition in their sometimes 12 years of schooling! I learned this about 6 months ago-Its cheap, and it may work for you.

If you catch them soon enough, a doctor can give you a shot of lanacane and take a syringe and draw all the dead cells out.. Had it done on my knee twice, and they never returned.. also, on my left hand..The ones on my knee never returned, but the one on my left hand returned in about a month...Had surgery last February on my right hand.. effective, but took a long time to heal. The surgeon wanted to put metal plated in my wrist, but I refused

I don't blame u

I hate them they are ugly and embarrassing!

A lot of doctors don't want to do this procedure... There is risk of infection-and its too simple! Why do something so simple when you can sell a risky surgery?! Let the nodules develop, and ruin the joint, and it makes a lot more money! The liability is on someone else... Sometimes they come back, but sometimes even surgery doesn't pan out... Recovery time:
Surgery months. Procedure, a few minutes.
Both options have risks-
