I have only just been told within the last couple of months that I have RA.

But they can be anywhere. Did you show your doc? Can you get someone to take a picture too in case it changes before s/he sees it?

I can so relate. Mixing the nodules and sleeplessness, I have a couple of spots (1 on my rib about midway up my back on the right side and 1 on the rib under my right breast) that when I touch or lay in such a way that puts pressure on them, it makes me wanna stick to the ceiling like the cat with claws when spooked!! OMG it hurts! Anyways, they don't look like the nodule pix that I've found on the internet, so I don't know if that's what they are. Any input? Thanx heaps!!! <3<3 I was actually looking for an article on nodules, as I’ve found a lump on the inside of my elbow that is painful, when I came across this…very funny stuff! I can so relate.

This, I think, is where the "run over by a truck" feeling comes from. I have both. Feels like every cell in your body is achy.

Now I sleep like a rock & that is my favorite place. You might want to read the posts on sleep <a href="http://rawarrior.com/rheumatoid-arthritis-sleep-issues/">here</a> and <a href="http://rawarrior.com/tackling-rheumatoid-arthritis-sleep-problems/">here</a>. The end of that last post describes my personal bed solution - I just encourage you to find one that is comfortable. It makes a difference.

Very hard to get the required hours of sleep when you wake up every few hours because of pain. I have heard a lot about memory foam toppers so that is on my list now to buy.
