foot nodules
I have several nodules on my feet, on the sides and the bottom. Has anyone had these, had treatment, successful or not and what type of doctor did you see? Podiatrist or orthopedic?
I also have several nodules on the bottom and sides of my feet from RA. They are getting bigger and it is extremely painful to walk on hardwood floors, especially in the morning. My Reumatologist sent me to a Podriatrist. He said they could be removed but it would be painful and take a very long time to heal. He also said they would return.
His advice was to get arch support thru Jackrabbit Shoes in Benicia, CA. I am waiting for them to be delivered. You keep these in your shoes at all times to keep the weight away from the toes. My nodules are on my big toes, and right under my toes. They are also on the sides on my feet. Hope this info helps.

I also have several nodules on my feet, and my hips look funny, and my arms feel sorta knotty too. My feet are very painful, and i have no insurance, but my local health dept. are helping me as much as they are allowed too. I can't find any shoes that have helped much either. I can't afford to buy all these expensive shoes. I really don't know what we can do. But cold water does help my pain some. I surely cannot go barefooted without extreme pain. Maybe some day soon they will help get us some relief. I have 3 grandchildren to help keep up with. that is pretty rough though. Good Luck and May God Bless Us All

I have boney things on the side of my right foot, I am guessing they are nodules and that they are from rheumatiod. Not real painful at this point but my feet are stiff in the morning. Good Luck

I have so many nodules on my feet...they located on the back of my heels and on the lower inside of my foot. I have been to a Podiatrist and he told me there was not much they could do for them. My left one hurts all the time...right one doesn't. The left one feels like a heel spur on the bottom of my heel. I would give anything to get rid of the nodules....they look awful. I am so afraid they will just keep coming. I got them last August all at once. Does anyone have any advice?

I have been dealing with nodules on both feet, though more so on the left foot since September. I ended up in the hospital for days over that plus some kind of infection in my body. i am still dealing with them. Podiatrist said they are bacterial and has me washing my feet several times daily with bleach water and applying "Naften" cream once a day. Honestly they do not seem to be getting any better and i have no idea what to do or how i can return to work like this.

i have found great relief and lowered my RA blood test scores with changes in diet. i quit drinking alcohol gave up red meat, pork, sweets and tried to eat fresh fruits and vegetables with fish and chicken. lots of water, no sodas. i get reflexology treatments on my feet regularly. right now i am in remission. in 3 months my RA blood test results dropped from 443 to 31 just from thesechanges. i am so grateful as i chose not to have drug therapies and most days i am not in pain. heat helps as does cold when i hurt. i try to stay active. i tried to eliminate coffee as well but i still drink a cup or two in the morning. hot green tea is good also. tumeric, garlic, ginger added to vegetables help to reduce inflamation. read books on food as medicine to help flare ups. keep track of what you eat and how it affects you. this has helped me tremendously. i use biofreeze when the pain really acts up. good luck
