I have nodules all over my body where there close to my joints. When I have a flare they swell and some are a good size, the trouble I have is on my arm's, wrists, hands and thighs also my heals on my feet. Those don't hurt yet but I know one day it will.

Yes, rheumatoid nodules can sometimes become painful and sensitive. While they generally don’t cause concerning symptoms, nodules that form a connection with subcutaneous tissues or tendons can root in place and become sensitive. Additionally, nodules that grow to a substantial size might compress nerves or blood vessels Show Full Answer

Yes, rheumatoid nodules can sometimes become painful and sensitive. While they generally don’t cause concerning symptoms, nodules that form a connection with subcutaneous tissues or tendons can root in place and become sensitive. Additionally, nodules that grow to a substantial size might compress nerves or blood vessels, causing pain or limiting a person’s range of motion. Nodules in inconvenient locations, like the feet, can also make walking difficult and lead to soreness or pain.
