  1. Hi . Welcome to the community! A new diagnosis can be pretty overwhelming. WE have lots of resources and super supportive people in the community who have been where you are now and can help. Some people with RA develop synovial cysts. They are fluid-filled cysts that can form in the joints. Do you have one now? Do you have a good doctor and a good treatment plans? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
