Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Wrist, Fever And Redness In Lower Arms
I have deformed thumb, wrist with swelling, quite a lot of pain in wrist and up my lower arm, redness, and slight fever around the joint. Gout test is negative. RA test is negative. I have had cellulitis a year ago, but do not think this is cellulitis.

Hi,
Warmth, swelling and pain of skin are typical symptoms of cellulitis. Fever may also occur with it it. So there is quite a possibility that it might be cellulitis and I advise to see you docter for assessment and management.
Arthritis may also cause painful swelling and fever but that would only involve the joint area, not the forearm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
