Tendon Nodules as first symptom?

Was anyone's first sign/symptom within the tendons? I seemly overnight developed trigger finger and thumb pain with a nodule at the thumb joint following a month later. Negative labs except for slightly elevated RA factor of 30. I have had sensitive tendons for years though.

    Additionally, Erin who is one of our Moderators gives some great suggestions in her response that I thought I would share with you too.
