A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Bakersfield, CA

Ive seen the pics of red swollen joints, but are small bumps something of ra? I had a red small bump on finger joint pop up a week ago, the redness is gone and now its just flesh colored. I was hopinj it was a bug bite. I am currently having a surge of symptoms now that steroid had worn off

They are nodules possibly. And they are from RA. I have yet to get one but they pop up on joints, so you can get them also on your elbows. In everything I have read about them I have only seen pictures of them on elbows and hands so I don't know if you can get them on your legs or not.

They can grow in your organs and that is why it's so important to take your medicine.

Yes i did notice they are usually listed as around elbows and feet.... so many unusual things and what yoi read on google doesnt come close to the feedback from you guys! You are the ones living it, so makes sense to hear whats happened to you first

I have flesh colored very small bump one on each hand, but two different finger digits.
They are only noticeable when they itch and I get compelled to scratch them. I thought maybe it was a wart..but there is nothing inside or discoloration. I keep forgetting to ask my Dr about it.

My bump went away so it wasnt an ra related one, and doc said it was in the skin, not beneath it. I was most relieved

It sure does, that is why I love this site. Sometimes I wonder about some of the articles I read, especially if I notice a typo. It makes me wonder about the other information they have in the article. 🤗🤗🤗
