Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Ok, this is my problem. I had a Binine Firbroid Adnoma removed from my breast in April. since i am 53 i was told that this type was not common, and when lab results came back it show some calcifications around an unusal shape that may be caused by an auto-immune disorder. i was referred to my family physician and he said i was fine after running blood test. Yesterday my finger started throbbing for no reason and when i looked at it i watched it turn deep purple and is swollen. it still is. i looked up causes and they all seem to take me back to auto-immune disorders. what should i do?
You could be experiencing Raynaud's phenomenon which can be seen in certain cancers as well. I suggest you keep your fingers warm with mittens or gloves and consult your Doctor for the same. Certain medication may be necessary for relief.
