What an interesting story, especially concerning the lungs. I have UCTD and I have small nodules on my fingers and elbow. Curious if some RA patients or a rheumatoid disease patients present with high d-dimer blood tests. My dr ordered one and I had a high d-dimer and had to go straight to the CT lung scan. My lungs are perfect. And, no clots. I looked into this and read some RA patients can have high d-dimer. Apparently it can be caused by inflammation.
I have seropositive rheumatoid arthiritis Doctor noticed the nodules I was and still taking plancquil now started taking methotrexate Thursday was 4 now 6 pills so what will it do for my nodules I already have Surgeon said I need ankle fusion which I don't want and said plancquil is not working he says I need stronger medicine I hardly have pain just right ankle goes outward when I stand up. What is your thoughts?
Apparently I have RA nodules in my lungs, otherwise I have no more nodules in or on my body.I did have a carcinoid tumour removed from my lungs 10 yrs ago . But then they said I had sarcoidosis in my lungs , I am on Rituxan , so technically I do not really know what I have ,just depends what doctor I go to
Yes. I have both, as well as Felty's Syndrome, fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, degenerative disc disease with many spinal issues (bone spurs, compression fracture) along with bunions and hammer toes.
Can you speak to what to do if someone has sero- negative RA based on symptoms and imaging, has nodules, and is using Hydroxychlo and Ibuprofen. Does that mean it’s time to make a change?
Oh my Gosh! Couldn't concentrate because of music. Why do you have to put music on back ground on such a important information about RA ? No need really

Can the nodules disappear or lesson?
Is it possible to get nodules with SLE?
I have scleroderma..i have more like hard lumps on my knees ...i thought they were calcification? Leaking from the bones?
Is it possible to have RA and OA at the same time?
Absolutely, very common.

Can nodules be removed
I have RA. I had a nodule before taking methotrexate. It shrank after taking methotrexate. Never went away but shrank.
I got cirrhosis from methotrexate
