RA Nodules

I am having terrible trouble with nodules on my hands and my feet. They are ulcerated and having to be dressed everyday by nurses. I have seen my Rhuematologist but the risk of infection is greater than having the nodules surgically removed. I have 53 on my hands and 7 on both feet. I really don’t know what to do…

Oh goodness that sounds very painful! As far as the feet go can u get some specially made shoes ? Do you have any hand splints to keep from getting ur places more hurt and open? Have u spoke with another doc about this? it would seem to me a greater risk to not get them removed if the are opening up and need dressing. hope things get better for u soon!

I was worried about my single nodule which pales into insignificance compared to what you are undergoing. May I ask you what medication you are taking. I wish you recovery.
Take care.

Hi Darci

Could I ask what medicines you have taken in the past? Have you used antibiotic therapy. Thanks for sharing.
