Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 I have never had a nodule before but I think I might have one now. It is on my elbow and is a pea-sized bump. It does hurt and both my elbows seem to be a bit tender. I guess it could also be a cyst, plus I am pregnant so who knows?! I will see a doctor but I just wanted to get some opinions and experiences. Thanks, Quote
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 the nodule is probably from RA. Nodules will show up on the elbow. I had a nodule several years ago but it was on the calf of my leg.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 It could be a nodule but my nodules are usually not painful unless I bump them or put some pressure on them. I have them on my fingers, palms, and elbows. God bless.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 , I also have a nodule on one of my fingers right at the knuckle. It doesnt hurt all the time but it is tender went hit the right way, and I am good at hitting it LOL. My doctor says he can remove it if needed but it isnt always big, sometimes I cant even tell its there by looking at it. Let me know what your doctor says. Good Luck! <catdelouise@...> wrote: I have never had a nodule before but I think I might have one now. It is on my elbow and is a pea-sized bump.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I think mine is the same way, but I am always leaning my elbows on something, even a arm rest and it does hurt when there is pressure on it. I am seeing my Rheumy in early April. I don't need to have this checked any sooner do I? I will also mention it in my next OB appointment which is the end of March. > > It could be a nodule but my nodules are usually not painful unless I bump > them or put some pressure on them.
