What Could Swelling And Redness In Ankles, Feet, Arms Followed By Severe Pricking Pain And Numbness Indicate?

Recently whenever I am up moving around or sitting for 10 minutes or longer my feet and ankles begin to swell and get reddish. I can feel in my forearm and wrists swelling as well occurring, and it becomes very painful trying to even move them. After about 20 minutes of the swelling has occurred I feel a very painful feeling of needles puncturing my skin in my feet , ankles, and upward. I get so numb that I can not even stand or walk. I m not sure what to account this all to?

Hi
This may be due to vasculitis..you must consult a rheumatologist or a physician for tests of blood, color Doppler testing, blood factors,CBC,CRP,etc.
Prednisone tabs. are often a remedy after confirmation of diagnosis.
