Back Fused, Swelling In Hand, Painful, High BP. On Blood Thinners, Taking Benadryl. What Is Wrong?

Backing up 2 weeks I had my back fused. That went well but in the last 3 days I have developed swelling in my left hand pointer finger along with pain. The pain is localized in the palm when I force my hand open as far as I can I get red splotches in the palm that are painful if you push on them. The palms of both hands itch constantly . I am on blood thinners and high blood pressure meds along with pain and cholesterol meds. I have been taking benadryl for 2 days. Yesterday the same symptoms were on the bottom of my feet but are no longer having issues with them . Any thoughts would be great.

Hi. many thanks for the query!
This is the picture of palmar space infection spreading from index finger infection that may be due to some minor trauma or it can be an inflammatory pathology.
Get physically checked up by your doctor.
If Abscess needs to be drained.
Take antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-histaminic drugs as per your doctor's opinion.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
