My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and has the same problem of nodules on her feet. Other than surgery there is nothing that can be done about it. They will grow back even after surgery. This is from two different rheumatologists, one at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville and one in Ocala. My wife also has nodules in her lungs and has to have supplemental oxygen to make up for the damage to her lungs from the nodules. Rheumatoid arthritis is a nasty illness that can be somewhat controlled by medications but these medications have serious side affects.
