Raynaud's in big knuckles??

[Brychni]

Hi all

I have just had the strangest experience. I do have Raynaud's which started about 10 years ago and typically affects only my right hand.

It's a hot day but I am inside a cold house with window open - slight breeze - suddenly the main big knuckle of my index finger (MCP) some of the right of the index finger and a bit of my hand surrounding MCP joint went almost totally numb. I have other joint issues and wondered if it might be compressed nerve but after a few minutes I noticed the feeling coming back and the telltale bruise/redness appearing just like my white finger episodes.

Is it possible to get Raynaud's attacks in the hand not just fingers? this is a first for me.

Hi I have this to in my hand it makes thumb and index finger numb can last for hours. I also have raynauds in fingers, but this is different. I showed my rheumatologist she doesn’t know what it is. Have sent picture of my hand. Hopefully someone knows.Thanks

Hi Browncow1

I have the same on my right knee . Swollen and dark in colour like a bruise but haven’t knocked it . Be interesting to know what causes the colour ?

I get these bruise like marks too, just thought it was part of the raynauds.

Yes I suffer this too, in my middle knuckle and index finger. Just thought it was part of Raynauds. The same thing happens with my toes, even when I am in the house in a warm room.

Hi thanks for this link. Will ask my rheumatologist when I get to see them.
