Rheumatoid nodules can be removed, however they are just as likely to return as not. I personally have had them form and then disappear again. the best thing to do is not put hard pressure on them and just continue with your normal treatments for RA. if you have them on the arm where it rests on the table for example use a cushion to nurse it. usually they disappear again.
