Pain on wrist and fingers

[Jasminedewan]

I get pain on my wrists and fingers. I now have swollen fingers and it's more painful during the night time and when I wake up in the morning.

Same here fingers and toes like tooth ache sometimes and burn so bad at night ! In the day if I get them cold during the day my fingers go so white and painful and if I get my toes cold they go numb and pins and needles in them !! X

Hi, I have both Lupus & Scleroderma. With both, I get painful joints but find my hands are worst. Also, Raynauds gives me painful, white fingers & toes when it's cold but you can get painful sores with scleroderma. I would mention this to your rheumatologist as it was a while before I got a diagnosi as there are a lot of symptoms that mimc each other.

Good luck

Yes I get really sore, aching hands & feet in the morning, can hardly walk and have to slowly unfold my hands but it eases off during the day and then starts gradually coming back. Especially if I've done to much. I go to John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, it's a joint clinic with rheumatologist & immunologists. So you never know which one you'll see! At my last vist they had the results of my ultrasound scans (on feet & hands) and the immunologist said there is a lot of inflammation to they've suggested my plaquenil from 1 tablet a day to 2 (each tablet is 200mg). That was 2 weeks ago and it has helped a bit going back at the end of the month when they might suggest anti- inflammatory tablets. I'm hoping I don't have to go on those but time will tell. Best wishes to you.

I went to the lupus uk talk at Hinxton Hall yesterday, and they were talking about blisters on hands/ toes.I seems to be connected to inflamed blood vessels, which in turn restricts the blood flow and can be like frostbite.

Raynauds disease can cause this, you can look it up online. Are you on steroids? because these can cause swelling and fluid retention.

I also get puffy hands and fingers and drop most things, I think thats part of lupus. Hope you get some help and relief.
