What Causes Painful Swelling In The Right Hand And Left Foot?
Hello, my husband had a few strange things happen over a series of days. First his Right Hand and Left Foot swelled very large and were very hot. They were very painful. We gave him antibiotics and wrapped his hand tight for 30 mins on than ice for 30 mins over and over. Our friend was afraid it was cellulitis and instructed us to do this. 2 days later the swelling was almost gone but Both hands started to peel, badly. That was 2 weeks ago and his hands are still peeling and his hand is still very tender but foot felt better? A few days later after his hand/foot swelling went down his knees started hurting very bad. They pop and ache and at times he can barely walk. They are very hot to the touch. That has been going on for about 3 days. Today his knees don t hurt but his feet started hurting. He can barely walk again they are very painful...but not swollen nor are they hot. Any ideas what could be causing this?
