Has anyone experienced these knots or bumps on hands or elbows. Gator has RA but never had anything like these before. He is 2 yrs2 months out from surgery RC w/ Indiana pouch. It was probably within 6 months these started coming up. Docs nevers seen anything like it before. they are on the pads of his thumbs and sides of fingers here and there.We have recently moved to Kentucky and started seeing a new primary care Doc. He wanted to know if Gator would mind if the other Dr. in the office took one of them out. We were both glad he asked. I told him i would be very interested in the pathology. He asked me if I was a nurse. We get that alot. Gator always says yes she should be. I love to research medical things. back to the knots. He says at times when he puts pressure on them it feels like pins poking him. Until this Dr. no one has even wanted to mess with them just kind of dismissed it.Glad to be back on here will try to post more often. Bless you all for still carrying on this site is a real fountain of information.
