[loppyloo12]

Woke up this morning to find these they were not there last night when I went to bed and I always were bed socks so my bed socks have attacked me ???????

[popsmith1874]

Wow that looks painful and very swollen

[loppyloo12 in reply to popsmith1874]

I am in pain a lot at min

[nomoreheels]

They look for all the world like scratches but your ankle is very swollen. Are you still having high inflammatory values?

[loppyloo12 in reply to nomoreheels]

I have lots of pain at minute

[nomoreheels in reply to loppyloo12]

How long before you see your Rheumy, or have a nurse appointment?

[loppyloo12 in reply to nomoreheels]

I really don't know xx

[nomoreheels in reply to loppyloo12]

Were you not given one at your last appointment? It can work differently according to hospital. When I come out of my Rheumy meets she says she'll see me in, for example, 6 months then I go to Reception & tell them that & they give me an appointment for 6 months time. Or maybe your Rheumy dept send them through the post. How long has it been since you were last seen by either your Rheumy or Nurse Specialist?

My rheumatology are brilliant. If I'm having a bad flare or things are not right. I can call a rhuematology nurse, explain what's going on and they are so good they will do everything to get you seen. Worth a call x

Probably were in pain in the night and in your sleep rubbed your ankles scratching them.

They look swollen though you need to call your Rhuematoid Outpatient dept and find out if there is an app on their screen yet for you.

In meantime see your Dr and if they are concerned they will send you straight to A&E with that swelling. I think the scratches were just your own nails or something rubbed ( other toe nails) my friend suffered with serve eczema and would wake up with marks like that and never remember making them as she was half asleep. When your ankles are swollen I find they do irritate the skin as skin is stretching.

Feel for you they look so uncomfortable 😣

I had socks on x

[Mellisa1066 in reply to loppyloo12]

I can still scratch through a bandage if they are that uncomfortable ! They don’t look like veins or anything but scratches. I would worry about your swelling more ! Bless I feel for you. Speak to your Rhuemy team tom if no help get a Dr’s emergancy app tom to look at those ankles. 💕

Thank u xx

Oh dear!

When tissue swells it can be itchy. Could you have scratched at them while you slept? My biggest concern is the leg edema. If your doctor and you have addressed it, and it has worsened please call to see MD asap. I know many people deal with chronic edema, It is very uncomfortable. Compression hose may help, but see what your MD recommends.

[loppyloo12 in reply to suetg3]

Ok what is edema

[suetg3 in reply to loppyloo12]

puffy swelling in your legs/ankles is due to retained fluid in your tissue (skin) It can be a sign of many things, poor circulation, side effect of disease or organ (like kidney failure) Elastic support hose may help a bit, but really need to see your doctor, esp if it has not been addressed before.

Do you have a cat or live in an area where a raccoon could be in your house or some other creature? Do your meds cause other parts of your body to itch resulting in scratching and do you have long fingernails?

[loppyloo12 in reply to kbspots]

My cats go out at night I don't have raccoon in my area and never been itchy on meds xx

[Hidden in reply to loppyloo12]

I have occasional oedema in my ankles when my heart medication needs adjusting. Best to go check it out.
