Creepy Divot Formed In Pinky Joint

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
St. Louis, MO

So, I’m relatively new to having RA - I have a mild case. But a divot formed in my pinky joint in three-four days time. It is really creeping me out. I don’t know if any other way to describe it, other than a divot. If my finger was made out of clay, it would be as though someone pressed it inward slightly. It doesn’t hurt, and it is my only affected finger. I have an appt. with my rheumatologist next week, but does ANYONE know what this is?

I have developed some ugly cists on my fingers. I'm not too esteemed for outwardly flaws as I used to be more flawed than that from inside out.
God bless you sister. And if your finger flaw is all you have count your blessings

I was told that it was a cyst that will keep coming even if I had surgery. Confused 😕 I have another one on my rt pointer finger.

I have several of these wee things on my fingers. I was told they're nodules. They can be really sore if I hit them buy mistake.
