Possible RA?

I am not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not... but where to start. Back in July 2011 I had some little knots show up on my feet and they started out very small.. and flesh colored and as time went on they got larger in size and kind of a purpleish colored with the longer I would be on my feet. My feet constantly ache... but I always pass it off as normal aches and pains because I have had several foot surgeries for bursitis and a taylors bunion. Now 7 months after I have originally noticed the lumps on my feet i have them more wide spread... I have one particularly bad one on my index finger at the middle knuckle on my right elbow and around 20-30 on my feet around the joints of my toes. I get chronic fatigue where i will just be sitting at work and one second be wide awake having a conversation with someone and the next second fall asleep and not be able to control it

also my hand that has the lump on the index finger.. that finger and knuckle has begun to hurt and ache. my right wrist hurts and aches at times. when I wake in the morning my knees will be stiff and achey. along with my feet and elbows. I have found out that my mom tested positive for SCL-70? I am not sure exactly what that is but her PCP doctor told her she needed to go to a rheumatologist, however she cant because of no insurance. I do have rather good insurance. and was seeing my foot doctor back in august he took a screw out of my foot, and noticed the knots and is wanting to cut them out... I think he is after the money tho. He cut 2 of them out so far for biopsy and said they are "traumatic neuromas" and are caused from running?? which I dont do? and I have these knots more wide spread than just on my feet along with other symptoms. I have also found out that RA runs in my fathers family and my younger sister was diagnosed at 15. I am just not sure where to turn.. and am trying to get an appointment with my PCP so that I can get bloodwork and tested for RA. I feel like I am getting the run-around.. I just want an answer the fatigue and flu like feeling I get is holding me back from my life with my kids
