Did anyone develop rheumatoid nodule with lyme ? My problem is I smashed a tick two yrs ago and I am sure I have lyme but I a lso have the hla b 27 gene which causes autoimmune disease and arthritis. so I have severe arthritis and muscle pain. Im worried about my gene and possible Lyme err. Im trying to see if anyone else developed a bump on their joints

Hi there,

I had 3 nodules in total two on my elbows and one on my liitle toe.

The ones on my toe and left elbow have disappeared and the other is nearly gone.

As my healing continues (albeit too slow for my liking) I have noticed that the wierdest symptoms are gradually going away.

The arthritic pains aren't unbearable anymore............just plain annoying!

So I would say that when your pain levels finally start to decrease ,your nodules might well start to recede.

Hi fnfiacco and Tickled :-)

I started taking LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) for the pains (I could not longer tolerate them): overall muscle pain and severe joint and bone pain.

I was not sure if it was going to work, but I gave it a try about 2,5 months ago (I think, my brain must look like a piece of Gruyère, I forget so much). First that went was the overall muscle pain (that hit by a truck feeling), then after 1,5 month, it felt as if my joint pains were decreasing. They come up every now and then, and about once a week, everything hurts like before. But the LDN has made my days more tolerable. Not everyone gets results that quickly or maybe even not. But maybe it's worth giving it a try?

btw fnfiacco, I have arthritis, but no nodules (except on 1 finger), only swollen, red, painful joints.

(Tickled, how are you, we haven't talked for ages... ? I hope everything is ok with you and the dogs? Hugs)
