Re: To Barbara re: nodules

[Guest guest]

Hi Barbara,

In the early days of RA, I had a painful nodule on my right wrist.  My

rheumatologist injected a cortisone shot into it and the pain went away and also

the nodule.  He gave me the shot early on after the nodule developed, but it

might be worth trying even though you have had the nodule a long time.

Hi :  I have a big nodule on the outside of my right foot by the arch.  I

have had it for several years now.  My feet were hit the hardest with RA, and

when I am flaring, this is very painful.  Not much we can do about them.

 

Hugs,

I just had my right hand xrayed because I have a promenent lump

next to a joint, and another one forming. These lumps are next to

what used to be the most painful joint, and now it does not hurt, but

the joint next to it really hurts. Strange, isn't it?

I take methtrex (5 a week), 2 naproxon daily, two tramadol daily,

two folic acid ( when I rember).

So, has anyone else had lumps pop up? Couldn't get into my Rheumy,

so my internist took the xrays. Won't know for a while what it is.

Hi Patsy:  Thanks for writing to me.  After I had the 3 shots in my heel for

Plantar Facitis, I can't bear to have it done again.  Those shots were just

awful, and so damn painful.  I guess it it gets bad enough, my Rheumy will do

it for me.  She hates to give anyone a shot in the feet.  I can see why.

 

I hope you are doing good, and I also hope you have a very Happy and Healthier

New Year.

 

Hugs,
