Surgery/Nervous
I saw the hand specialist who believes the bumps on my knuckles are rheumatoid nodules (although my rheumy wasn't completely sure) Ultimately, I decided to have the surgery to remove them. He'll then send off to pathology. Surgery is June 27th. I'm **very** nervous. The surgery is on a Thursday, and I'll return to work that Monday. Nervous about both the surgery itself and the recovery, especially bc 90% of my job is typing 😳
Anyone have experience with this type of surgery?
Hi
I want to first wish you warm wishes for a smooth surgery. I don't have specific experience to highlight. But I wanted to share this comment thread from others who have rheumatoid nodules. They don't speak to surgery for them but it may be nice to know that you aren't the only one who has them! https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/rheumatoid-nodules#comment-thread - Warmly, Reggie, team member Thank you! 🙂🫶
