Sudden Pain Joints, Discoloration Around Knuckles. Diabetic, Under Control. Cause?
I am 35 and over the last 5 years I have noticed that at times I would begin to develope sudden pain in the joints of my right hand. Within 2 minutes I begin to develope bruise like discoloration around my knuckles. The pain will last for several hours. The effected skin will begin to look dry within a day after the discoloration began.The skin discoloration will remain 1 - 3 weeks and then the discolored skin will begin to break off. I was born a prediabetic and was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 two years ago and have had my diabetes under control (5.7 A1C).
Could you please tell me what the cause could be?
