Re: Any swollen glands from RA?

[Guest guest]

Hmmmm I don't know if they are part of RA. Maybe from the inflammation? But yes I have them. They are on my neck at the base of my skull, armpits and groin. Always there. But, I'm new into this RA journey and still trying to understand and figure it all out. Some symptoms make complete sense while others are still big questions.

Subject: Any swollen glands from RA?

Hi,Does any one ever get swollen glands from RA. I get swollen joints (wrists, knees, ankles and one knuckle) all the time. Six months before I was dx with RA, I had a lump just below my arm pit. It went away after a few months. Now 4 years later, I've had another lump in the same spot for about 2 months. I'm wondering if this is a symptom of RA.Thanks,Jean

Please go to the doc to get that checked. Better to be safe than sorry.
