Nodules

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question that hopefully someone has a similar story. I went to my doctor for joint swelling and pain. He did numerous blood tests and arthritis, lymphoma, and leukemia came back negative. He feels it may be fibro but I dont know. I have started feeling much better since I started exercising again. I mostly only have the swelling in my hands now. My question is...has anyone with fibro experienced this...you bump (not hard) near your joints and get this weird nodule type swelling that looks white. It eventually goes down and isn't really painful. I get it alot around my hand joints after I do dishes. I tried to explain it to my doctor and he asked me if it is hives....definitely not hives. It is where I may get bumped or knocked by something near my joints. Any insight would help! I have an appointment this month to see a rheumatologist.
