Hi, I haven't had lumps on my joints but on my arms and legs, they feel like bites but there not, I asked my comsultant and he said its foliculitis which is from the BD, they are very itchy, my whole arm swelled up too, so painful! I have very very painful joints!

Do you mean you get these lumps specifically on your joints when they are painful, ie, not at other times or on other parts of your body?

Look up erythema nodosum and see if that's what it is. I've been dealing with it for a while.

Thanks all for replying... Jo that sounds awful... But more like a boil??

Tigerfeet...yes over the last few weeks I am getting these on my elbows (my elbow joints are very sore), actually behcets girll they do look like some of the elbow joint pictures of erythema nodosum. I only get them on my elbows no where else. Much of my worst joint pain is my elbows... Weird

Hi, I've no personal experience of them appearing specifically on painful joints, but I do know that lots of gets spots/lumps like those you describe. Definitely mention it when you next see your doc - take pics if you can. Let us know how you get on too, it all adds to our learning.

I don't know if the Society's fact sheet on skin might be of any help:

Hi

I get regular boil like spots on my legs and chest and on my head. Have been told this is the Behcets. They are very sore and much more so than normal spots.
