I have joint problems, but what does this mean?!
Question: I have joint problems, but what does this mean!?
I have problems with my joints in my legs, ankles and back, and recently I've noticed a collection of "bumps" surrounding my knee area, they only appear every now and again, so I took a picture of when my knee was last in that state,
I read about something called Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I've actually been to see a Rheumatologist, he claims its nothing arthritic, but its a joint disease called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome
but I don't know why I get these bumps every so often around my knee, and I wondered if any other joint sufferers had had the same problem!? & I can't show the doctor because I can't pick and chose when these string of "bumps" arrive around my joint of my knee!.
I'm only 19 too!.

I know its not very clear, but I just want to know what it is, I've had 8 blood tests and I still think it could be something arthritic, because when reading about Rheumatoid Arthritis, it mentioned about
"Skin nodules - one in four people with rheumatoid arthritis develop lumps under their skin, known as rheumatoid nodules!. These commonly occur on the skin over the elbows, and forearms, and are usually painless!."

Answers:
The bumps of 'rheumatoid nodules' are different to the bumps that you have in those photos!.
Your bumps actually look like varicose veins under the skin!. I have them too!.
Why don't you look up 'rheumatoid nodules' in Google Images to compare!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
