The four fingers of my right hand are swollen which makes it difficult to bend,,infact they look like sausages at the moment not pretty! They are covered in chillblains and omg it is so painful,hot and itchy. My GP dianosed raynauds last year when I had a similar bout of swollen fingers and chillblains..he wasn't interested, brushed it off and basically told me to invest a good pair of gloves which I have.The odd time one of my fingers will go numb and turn a dark colour, colour restores after 10-20 mins,toes also go numb from time to time. Its the swollen fingers though that is so painful (funny as well as its always the right hand) and Gp said there was nothing I could do for them but the itchiness and burning pain from the chillblains is driving me insane! anyone know what I can take to ease it please!
