What Do Pain And Numbness On The Left Hand Indicate?
Hello. I am experiencing pain and numbness and color changes in my left hand. I can see the blood coming to the surface of my fingers. The fingers affected are my thumb, pointer finger and middle fingers. My palm appears to be bruised too. Could it be psoriatic arthritis? This has been going on for about two months.

Hello,
Two possibilities can be predicted from your description.
First is cervical spondylitis or cervical nerve compression due to any reason. For that, do cervical x-ray and consult orthopedic doctor.
Second is Peripheral vascular disease. For that, you have to consult physician.
For confirmation, Doppler sonography is required. It can be treated with medication like Pentoxifylline or Cilostazol drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
