[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 378651, member: 3493"] Jena - I haven't had nodules. I am not sure why, but I'm glad. The draining is not so bad. They numb up the area with a shot of lidocaine and insert a needle to take out the fluid. Then, they usually put in a dose of cortisone to help keep the swelling down. I can tell when I need a draining because the joint, usually the knee, gets swollen and hot to the touch. I can't take the heat like I used to. This summer was very bad - the walk from Penn Station to my office was horrific many days. However, it's the cold that really gets to me, I hate it. My dream is to leave NY and go someplace where the only snow is on TV. As for the feet swelling, try to lie down with them elevated above the level of your heart. [/QUOTE]
