I was unenlightened

I broke down and called my rheumatologist's office yesterday about the bump on my arm (not on a log). The problem was who to talk to.The nurse practitioner I saw a couple of weeks ago is on vacation.The rheumatologist I saw first left and I have not yet met with my new rheumatologistI ended up talking to the physician's assistant who has never met me. We will meet on Thursday afternoon.He did tell me it sounds like a rheumatoid nodule - I said that I am rheumatoid factor negative and statistics say I should not be getting nodules. But I did switch to injectable methotrexate which could be what caused it so I might need to switch medications. But with my medical history I can't take a lot of them. He did also say it could be a ganglion cyst which could be drained or removed. Oh but since its my lymphedema arm there may not be any treatment options for me. Which means I  may be SOL. Crap.I am focusing on this because I am ignoring next week's assorted tests that I would prefer not to think about.
