What Causes Redness And Swelling In Hands?
Question: I have swollen feet/ankles, wrists/fingers for about a month. Redness in some spots and small "lumps" about pea size showing up- on toes, sides of feet, both middle finger first and second knuckles and also on bottom of forearms.
Brief Answer:
It can be arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem , I will like to tell you that this can be a symptom of arthritis specially Rheumatoid arthritis . I would advise you to get your ESR , CRP , RF , Anti CCP levels, ANA done as these are arthritis markers . Those lumps that you are talking about can be rheumatoid nodules . Your treatment is fine , and you will benefit by that but we need to start you on other drugs like methotrexate once the diagnosis is finalised .
Take care.
