Guest guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 l have nodules on my feet also. Under my baby toe, on the big toe and the heel of the foot. Also they have appeared on my elbows. The ones on the elbows have all but gone on their own. But the ones on the feet are still here. l tried steroid shots to no avail. l have never heard of exercising them. They do hurt when you try to walk barefooted. l am still hopeing they will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Just wondered if any of you had any experiences with rheumatoid nodules, particularly on your feet? A small lump appeared under my right metatarsal pad about 2 weeks ago, right behind my little toe. It doesn't hurt much to touch it, but when walking barefoot, it lets me know it is there. From reading, I understand that sometimes these remit spontaneously, but sometimes they don't, either. If you have had them in an area that troubles you, what did you doc to about them? excise them? steroid shot? I'm not positive this is what it is, but if I was a betting man.... I do understand that men, especially those with positive rheumatoid factors (like myself) tend to get these more than women. I'll be talking to my rheumie on Monday, but thought I might drop in here and see if any of you might have some feedback on your own personal situation.

Obviously, I will need to have an exam for someone to figure it out exactly. Thanks for the clues. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Mark, Hey. I am a 30 year old female and I also have nodules. Several of them. I have a large one on my elbow, two on my other elbow, one on right foot, and one on my left foot. I am forming a few on my wrists as well. I had one small nodule when I was diagnosed. They have grown and spread, although doctors have told me that when RA is under control that they should stop growing or disappear altogether. I have never seen them stop growing and though I pray every day, I definitely haven't seen them disappear. I even had the one on my elbow removed once in August of 1997, and by December it was back again. Go figure. I suppose that once the AP is working as it should, they can be removed by a plastic surgeon if they don't go away by themselves. Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 - I was taking 50 mg Iodoral and then started to itch so I've had to stop for awhile. It is taking quite a while for the itching to cease even tho I am working with my liver and blood purifiers. I think you just have to plow your way thru the junk and then finally you get your system cleared out! It is a marathon not a sprint unfortunately... right? -- In iodine , Gracia <circe@...> wrote: > > what dose do you consider to be a lot?
