Has > anyone else had this? well wishes, lil > Hi Lillie These could be 'rheumotoid nodules' which are inflammation on the tendons (I think!) I have them too - two on my big toe, and they can make walking hurt. They're what made me see a podiatrist for the first time recently and now I have lovely insoles for my shoes, that take the pressure off my toe when I'm walking - magic! Last time I saw my rheumatologist he said my nodules were too small to inject with steroid, but I'm seeing him again in a few weeks and they've doubled in size. So he'll inject them for me this visit - yay! Just another fun part of having an auto-immune disease in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
