Hand turning red
I figure I should ask somebody, and y'all know more than any doc I liable to meet, so...I was talking to a fellow at work yesterday and he noticed my left hand was bright red while my right wasn't, it looked normal. I took note last evening that it appeared to be slightly swelled as well, barely noticeable, but swelled none the less. There is no pain, nothing unusual at all other than that. I use my left hand to drive the forklift, so I am hoping and praying that it's just from that. I am wondering if it means anything, or if it would have to be combined with pain or tingling or something for concern to be warranted. Thanks all, God Bless, Smoke

do you have rsd in other parts of your body?

Hi Smoke,
Yes, reddish color and swelling are definetly signs of RSD. Do you have a good RSD Dr. If not, check into finding a good orthopedic hand specialist. Like a sports injury group. They have a Dr. for Hand, Dr. for knees, Dr. for shoulder etc. After 4 years of RSD, that is what I did. The ortho hand diagnosed me in 1 minute. Came back home and found a good neurologist and a good ortho hand Doc. I underwent the physical therapy, and got part use of my fingers back. They now can bend a little, enough to type, cut my own food etc. If I hadn't been misdiagnosed and got into p.t. sooner, I'm sure I would have full use of my left hand. I have full body RSD. When my toes started curling up, my Dr. had me start exercising right away in the pool. and in about 4 months, my toes were touching the ground again. So important to get therapy and keep limbs from freezing up and being paralyzed. You are EARLY in catching this spread, if that is what it truly is. Please don't delay in getting to Dr. and therapy. Take care, loretta |
I think it is wise to keep notes as you are doing,Smoke. I have done the same thing. The memory issues have made it an obligation to myself and the WC case that I am involved in since 2007.
I hope it is not an additional RSD spread for you. You will be in my thoughts and meditation prayers.:hug: |
