Having Neutropenia And Celiac, Diagnosed With Lupus. Veins In Right Hand Are Throbbing. What To Do?
On my way to being diagnosed with Lupus (already have Neutropenia and Celiac) but for two days the veins in my right hand are throbbing and seem more prominent than in my left hand. Do I need to go back to the doctor or wait til my next appointment and tell her about it? I never seem to know what do to with these crazy symptoms.

Hi
Thank you for your query.
Dear madam ,
Looking into your problem i would say that throbbing and prominent veins can be a sign of thrombophlebitis or impending thrombosis. SLE patients are prone for thrombotic complications so it could be a sign for that .
In my opinion you should consult your doctor at earliest to get yourself evaluated for the disease , get a venous colour doppler done and to look for any signs of thrombosis. You should also get yourself evaluated for anti phospholipid syndrome which can be present in conjunction with SLE which may also have such presentation.
If you have any queries feel free to ask.
