Hey there, I havn't been clinically diagnosed with RA, but i am pretty certain it's what i have. I'm a 25 year old male and have had nodules on the middle joints of most fingers on both hands for years, I havnt had it diagnosed because i am basically too embarassed to see or tell anyone about it, also up until recently i wasn't aware there was anything that could really be done about it, but i have read that alot of the new treatments and medications can help. I have finally decided to make myself go and see my doctor because over the last few months i have noticed some joint deformity in my knuckles on both hands. I know i obviously should of seen my doctor about this a long time ago, I hope I havn't left it too late and they can still help prevent further damage.
