finger pads

[Tiggywoos]

has anyone experienced an odd sensation in their finger pads ? Feels bit like I’ve burnt them on oven . I do have raynauds but this feels different . Tips of fingers do have a purple tinge to them but only tips not rest of fingers

thanks for reading as always you amazing people 🐈❤️

Hi Tiggywoos, I have strange feelings under what it feels my nails, like sore or burning sometimes but not on the tips.

[Tiggywoos in reply to EG74]

Yes you’re right it is like under finger nails too x

Infusion was ketamine and lidocaine

Have a look online about erythromelalgia. It can flare up this time of year. It can be very mild or severe and effect more of the body. It might not be relevant to you. The photos online can be a bit vivid in my opinion as I have global EM but the rash isn't present like displayed online. But the sensation of burning is definitely there and is most uncomfortable. Just an idea.

Thanks 🌷. I had an infusion for Erythromelagia couple weeks ago for my feet but didn’t work .You’ve raised interesting point though as my feet started off feeling “funny” and “tingle “ before they turned into E so maybe hands are going same way x

I’m sorry you have global EM 😒

[happytulip in reply to Tiggywoos]

I have lidocaine infusions every six to nine months for it and am on pregablin.

[Tiggywoos in reply to happytulip]

Did the first infusion work ?

[happytulip in reply to Tiggywoos]

Yes, but they have definitely got better and more effective over time. I couldn't weight bear before my infusion. Once I've recovered from the horrid side effects I have significantly reduced pain for months.

[Tiggywoos in reply to happytulip]

That’s great I’m so glad it helped 😊

I have erythromelalgia in my hands, this is one of the symptoms I told my rheumatologist I have in my hands that turn red and hot. I didn’t know the feeling under the nails is also due yo erythromelalgia. What is the medication that you take for it? What is that infusion Tiggywoos? I only take HCQ since April.

[Tiggywoos in reply to EG74]

Sadly no medication for E as gabapentin and pregbag made me feel really low in mood .I’m on Mepacrine and hydroxy which helps with rash and knee /wrist pain but nothing else xx

[Tiggywoos in reply to EG74]

Sorry EG74 I’ve answered for happy tulip ..

[happytulip in reply to EG74]

I have lidocaine infusions for EM. I'm not saying the sensation under the nails is definitely EM, just an option.
