Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Today I had a hard knot come up on the bone of my wrist on the pinky side, This is the bone is directly down from the pinky finger but on the wrist. It is about five times the size of the other hands bone. Has anyone had anything like this just come up? I know it was not there last nite because I have been rubbing lotion on my hands and wrists every nite. It doesnt seem to hurt, thank goodness.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 a, Both of my wrists are like that. Mine did not come up over night though. It is the RA. I am glad that yours doesn't hurt. The one on my left wrist screams at me about fifty percent of the time. Talk with your rheummy about it. My explained it but I can't remember what all she said. Sorry.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I had something similar last year, also on my hand. If you go down your thumb to the wrist, there's a bone that normally sticks out. Well, I had what seemed like a very sharp bone sticking out there. Even my rheumatologist was perplexed. He said that if it bothered me, we'd get it x-rayed, but I didn't think much of it. A couple of months later, I noticed that it was no longer there. No clue what caused it. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of patandpaula Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 8:04 PM Subject: Re: [ ]Hard knot on bone of wrist Today I had a hard knot come up on the bone of my wrist on the pinky side, This is the bone is directly down from the pinky finger but on the wrist.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 These could be RA nodules. My boss has one on her elbow joint. Looks like a round bump sticking up under the skin. http://arthritis.about.com/od/nodules/g/nodule.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
