My father is having severe pain in his hands and fingers. It is so bad that he sits in agony with ice on them. The ice seems to help. He also has recently had a bad rash all over his legs, arms, face and head. He is 77. He has been suffering from Ulcerative Colitis for almost 10 years now but has been under control. This pain in his hands and rash have come on all of a sudden in the last week.
