I did have the alodynia when my hands were swollen and red. I had a braclet on, it wasn't tight, but the feel of it against my skin was unbearable. The redness was in my entire hands and wrists, and around my elbow joint. The redness around the elbow joints has not gone away, and it is sensitive to the touch, but not unbearable. My hands seem to go from pale and icy,looing almost skeletal to red, shiny, swollen and hot. When they are red and swollen they are sensitive totouch, even the air blowing over them. I also get the redness and swelling on my face, shoulders and chest. It doesn't always happen at the same time, and it isn't constant.
By the time I go to the Dr. none of the more pronounced symptoms are present. It is hard to explain to him without being able to show him. I just want to get to a place where I can be okay, even if these symptoms are present.
