lumps on arm tendons

[Guest guest]

....wondering if anyone else has these? They appeared about a month ago

and the rheumy said today that they weren't like any nodules she's

seen before, theorized that they may be from the mtx.

They are pea-sized lumps under the skin, not painful at all, clustered

on the tendon that runs from the elbow down the top of the forearm.

Sounds kind of strange but I have had the exact same thing but on the arch part

of my foot and because of the location, I have had to have them removed twice

now. Second time around, just 2 weeks ago and they were bigger than a pea this

time but smaller than a lima bean. Makes you not want to eat beans for sure!!

Mine were NOT RA related but some kind of fibroid something or another. My ortho

doctor said he would have bet money that it was a RA nodule for sure. My RA

doctor thought it was a RA nodule too. But the pathology report showed

differently. I definitely could have lived with mine had it not been on the

tendon running from by big toe thru the arch area. Too painful to live with

that! I hope yours are not painful!

Good luck!
