Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Itchy Wrist

A couple of weeks ago, a vein on the inside of my wrist, suddenly bulged and was very itchy - we run it under cold water - I supposed the vein was enlarged for about 10-15 minutes and then it went down and a bruise appeared very quickly spreading up on the inside of my wrist into the palm of my hand. Then four days later the same thing happened but on my left eye from the corner by bridge of nose coming down onto my cheek.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Wrist swelling can be due to polyarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, do you have such complain?
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?

When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27
Systemic diseases will have ophthalmic involvement also.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
