Re: Re: Bone Spurs and arthritic nodules

[Guest guest]

Good evening Lynette: Your response is appreciated. First please understand that I'll be speaking from experience from our support group of 15 to 20 very arthritic folks with a whole host of arthritic type ailments with a group that has been together for the past 13years. Having said that you can imagine the shared experiences.

As for your nodules, I have them on my wrist and elbows (both joints replaced in 1073). A few or our members have them also but not every one. It is a crap shoot as to who gets them and who does not. Cosmectally they look terrible and one tends to wear long sleeve shirts to cover them at first and after a while you just give up and not care and wear what you darn well please. They will vary in size and shape. Some will continue to grow others only to a certain point. None of our members have complained about pain. Thanks goodness. Have them surgically removed and they will only come back. Spare yourself the pain of the operation. Your doctors will advise you accordingly I'm sure. Sooooo, join the club, accept it and your frame of mind will be that much better. I hope this answers your questions. Take care and stay positive.entsLynetteLyn@... wrote:
