I have recently noticed a bump on my ankle bone, it doesn't hurt but it is visible and hard to the touch. I am wondering if this would be a module.

It doesn't seem to be getting any bigger but it is also not going away. Any thoughts?
I had bump on my ankel and on my 2 fingers on my right hand and one fingure on my left hand I read that happend when u had Ra cause these bones are so sensitive and easy effected also the bones of fingers and ankel will be deform by time the longer period u had pain the more deforms u will have on those bones
Take care , God bless u
I also get many milia on my face which mthx and Rituxan both got rid of. They came back, but they are not as big as before, I assume that the meds I am taking are not getting rid of them, but they are not getting worse.
I would not get them removed. My last rheumatologist advised me against it, because he said they would come back. I also have several on my index and little finger on my left hand. They are painful and make it hard to use them. I hope mthx will shrink them when I start it this week.
