Hi Every one hope today is a good day

I wrote about three weeks ago I was on holiday in gran canaria and I had blisters on my hands I went to the pharmacy the said I needed to see a doctor did that and they gave me some cream it didn't work I was having to burst them with a needle to get rid of the puss under the blisters because it was so painful which left brown scars which I found embarrassing they slowly disappeared before I came home just left a lot of dry skin all the time I was there my legs knees feet ankles were swollen they never went down I arrived home on Monday morning about 3.15am when I woke up about 10am that morning I was in so much pain I could hardly walk rang the surgery explained what the problem and they said the doctor to ring me when he rang he made an appointment for me with another doctor the next morning the doctor said rest with my legs elevated and not to go to work I have done this last night we went out and when I got home my feet were quite painful the doctor did say it would take a few weeks to recover I woke up this morning I woke up with a sore stomache up towards my chest but my chest feels very uncomfortable and a little pain I have taken my painrelief and it hasn't eased it has anybody experienced any of this I would be very grateful for any advice many thanks for any advice

Hi Dotty poor old you!

Have you asked the doctor what he THINKS the problem is?

Did he do a blood test?

Word of advice though......piercing blisters is not a good idea as it encourages infection. It may even be that is the problem, so please go back to see your doctor......chest pains however mild need investigating.

I guess it was very hot in Gran Canaria.....your swollen feet were probably caused by dehydration ...but again ask your doctor.......

Hope you feel better soon...but make sure your doctor investigates all your symptoms thoroughly.

Hi Aged Crone last week when I went to see doctor she gave me some antibiotics cream for my hands s

I told her I popped them with a needle she never said anything I drank plenty of water through the day and sparkling water at night I can't drink as I am on morphine so I did drink plenty of water I am ringing the surgery tomorrow as I am still having pain from my knees below and ask to talk to a doctor about my stomach and my chest it is really painful when I move as I wondered if it could have anything to do with the swelling she did ask me last week if I had any chest pain

Many thanks for your reply

Did they rule out Hand Foot and Mouth disease? I had it when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter, and the soles of my feet were completely covered in blisters, and i couldn't weight bear through them. My son, who was 1 at the time caught it too and his hands were covered in blisters. Quite a few of our toe nails/finger nails fell off too as a result of it (horrible I know!).luckily they all grew back in fine! Have you had anything like that?

Have just found this post about blisters & foot pain. Just in the last 24hrs I have developed blister on me bunion & heel - wearing always same faithful soft shoes which I have bought three times. Soles of feet very painful, not just the flesh, feels like the bones. Wonder if part of RA. Skin breaking at odd points - taking long time to heal the RA nurses say is the condition. Will see what consultant thinks next week...
