What Causes Lumps On The Knuckles And Lower Shin Bone Pain?

Hi there, I am currently being seen for possible rheumatoid arthritis. I have had x rays (no results as yet) but nothing showed in my bloods the first time they were taken. I have lumps growing on my knuckles on both my hands and I believe to have quitem large bunions. Also I m starting to experience lower shin painot and I ve started to get a dent on the left side. I also have painful knees where they look like lumps are forming on the Base of my knee caps??? Please could you give me some advice??? I have also had chronic back pain for the last 11 years.

Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you may be suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and need to eat your Xray of hands and knees did.

Nodules you mentioned can be due to arthritis and you may also need to get blood tests done like RA factor and Anti CCP.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
