Q. Why do I have intense pain when my hands swell?
Hello doctor,
I can notice some dots in vision when I heat up fast. My hands shake when I go into attack. I have blue fingers in cold; red swollen fingers and toes when it is hot outside also. I have intense pain everywhere when my hands are swollen. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- There is a condition called Raynaud's phenomenon, in which the finger tips turn blue on exposure to cold. Subsequently, when the hands are warmed they turn white, then red and then normal.
- This could be a benign condition, especially in young ladies. Sometimes, it may be associated with a connective tissue disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- SLE has constellation of findings such as fever, arthritis, pleuritis, nephritis and headaches. I do not think you have any of these symptoms.
- So, it would be better to keep warm. If you still have problems then you could see your primary physician who could suggest some vasodilator medications.
