Hello @Rubymoon and welcome to the Community.

I understand that you have a nodule on one of your fingers and suffering a lot of pain in your hands. The following might be of interest.

which does refer to nodes. Also there is another booklet

which might be of use.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on.

Best wishes

Hi, if it's a rheumatic nodulè they come free with RA😆 As a last resort they can be removed but it's a last resort because they tend to come back. Yhe good news is they also tend to stop hurrting after a while.

If yours is OA then it's a Heberdens's node. I don't think they go away.. But I have several of both and neither hurt much now.
