For the last year I get swelling in my fingers and the soles of my feet. Also on my thighs I get what feels like a bug bite about the size of a nickle, but several have spread to the size of a baseball, and they feel like someone has injected something into them I take benedryl max dose daily when I get these flare ups. When my fingers swell there is no eczema but they feel so stiff I cannot write. I m 62 and never had any issues before this last year and a half. I do have psoriasis, had my prostate removed 4 years ago and completed hormone therapy last October.
