I had a small egg sized nodule on my elbow. Since xmas it slowly got smaller and smaller until it has now almost disappeared .YAY.

BUT...

I now have a nodule come up on my throat! it looks like I have an adams apple :( and while it isn't painful, it gets uncomfortable if it gets rubbed repeatedly (by clothing for instance) I have an appt with rheumy on the 26th.
Just wondered if anyone else has had this?

I also get RA in the jaw occasionally.

    Hi Fourferrets,

    I really hope you can get some results on whats going on when you see the Rumo. Thankfully its not long to wait I guess, though it might feel it as you have discomfort. I had a huge amount of trouble with my throat a few years ago, the adam apple swelled to double its normal size and it effected the swallowing and has my voice as well (though some would say not enough :wink: ) I don't actually know what mine was cus it took 8-9 months to see ENT by which time it had all but gone.... So could you keep us posted please? Good luck and fingers crossed for you. Take care Cris

    not on my throat but i have another nodule that has come up at the base of my finger and in the last few days the whole hand has swollen and i can barely move the fingers.
    not much help but i know how painful nodules can be.
    good luck at the rheumy.

    Hi,

    I don't have RA but I once had a goitre on my throat it looked just like a big adams apple. I had all the tests for thyroid etc but mine turned out to be a cyst on the thyroid gland.

    I would say go and get it checked out by your GP.
