Hello, I had sculptra injected in my lower face and hands. 2 vials total. Prob 1.5 on my face and .5 divided between my hands. I have large nodules all over my hands, including on my knuckles. It is painful to move the fingers. Please advise anything to treat these nodules. I have tried saline injection once and microneedling RF 3 times with no improvement at all. I need help as I am in pain.
