Rheumatoid arthritis nodules on wrist is that possible? how would i know if it's a nodule or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An exam by doctor/rheumatologist can confirm. Mri will differentiate between a ganglion (common by the wrist) and a solid mass like a rheumatoid nodule. Definitive test is an excisional biopsy.
