What causes nodules on fingers

[PMRpro Ambassador]

Depends what sort. Heberden's nodes are common alongside OA

RA can also caused nodules:

I assume it is Heberden’s nodes you are talking about which are caused by the arthritis, there are also myxoid cysts which also are associated with osteoarthritis, but you are probably not talking about them.

Yes think it is Heberdens nodes. Have had rheumatoid arthritis for over 30yrs and just this past month nodes starting to appear on fingers.

My mother got them after about twenty years.

Thanks for your reply. That’s reassuring to know can appear so long after diagnosed.
