Anyone Have Experience With RA Nodules?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Weeki Wachee, FL

Three days ago I first noticed a hard, painless lump on my thumb. It it doesn't feel anything like a boil or infection but like a growth. It is not movable and is about 1/2 inch in diameter and 1/8 th raised. It is the same color and just feels like my finger decided to grow something as a decoration.

You might want to ask your Rheumatologist about prescribing a mild muscle relaxer vs pain meds. This is what ours did and it really helped.
I have RA and OA and very little pain, more stiffness. My daughter has PCOS and Fibromyalgia and lots of pain as they effect the nerves.
I hope this helps.
Take care of you!

I get them a lot on my fingers/thumbs and they are extremely painful. Some disappear after a week or two, but some stay. Those that do linger stop being painful after 7-10 days.

Jayne, I'm actually eyeing up a wig shop two hours from me. I'm losing hair and now it's too fine and brittle to do much with.

Mine disappeared by using 100% emu oil.
