painful fingertips

Hi everyone. I hope you are all as well as you can be. It is a few months since I posted on here for several reasons but I need some advice please. My fingertips on left hand are extremely painful. They are keeping me awake at night. Very sore, red, swollen, tingling and itchy. It is just the tips no pain anywhere else at the moment. I should say I have had RD for 15 years and as far as I remember I haven't had this problem before. I have also been in mxt induced remission for about 2 years. Is this connected with RD or something else? Should I see GP or will it settle down? I would be grateful for your comments. Thank you.

Thank you Sylvie. I do have some but haven't needed them for years. I forgot about them. I will try them. x

No expert, but think it's always best to check - it's tempting to blame everything on RD, but then easy to miss other things. Hope it's better soon

Hi Janmary You are so right. I have said this to so many people myself. We never seem to heed our own advice do we? Thank you x
