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.
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.
