A member asked:
I think i have rheumatoid nodules on the bottom of my foot. how can i cure it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: Rheumatoid nodules may come and go and may not be influenced by how good the arthritis is controlled. They are be sutgically removed but they tend to recur. Orthopedic shoes with metatarsal bars may help. Finally, if you are on Methotrexate or arava, (leflunomide) consider stopping that med because nodules occur more often in patients on them.
