Yes, lung nodules and wet coughing with a lot of sputum can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here are some relevant points from my knowledge base:

- Pulmonary Nodules: RA-related scarring within the lungs can lead to nodules forming. These nodules may look like lung cancer on scans but do not lead to cancer. A ruptured nodule can sometimes cause a collapsed lung and more difficulties with breathing.
- Bronchiectasis: This condition, which can be a complication of RA, involves a chronic cough with large amounts of foul-smelling sputum. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and wheezing.

If you experience these symptoms, it's important to consult your healthcare provider for appropriate management and treatment.
