Being new to Raynaud's and reading stuff on here is it possible my aching calves are underlying symptom?

Hi Adrian, I get cramps in all parts of my body, but this is not due to my Raynaud's but due to my Scleroderma. So I am not sure if it is a common side affect. It could be a case of you are walking different because of the Raynaud's. I would tell your doctor about this and any other strange things you have noticed, I never put all my little things together at first, but when I went to see the Rheumatologists they did and that was when I found out I had Limited Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma and the Raynaud's was caused by that.

Same with me. My calves' pain have with time limited the distance I can walk and I have to keep stopping for a few seconds but this is due to my scleroderma or limited systemic sclerosis. With the help of my doctor I have a disabled blue badge which allows me to park near my shopping.

I also ache and have trouble gripping. If you haven't been referred to a rheumatologist, you need to be asap.

i asked my doc to be referred to a raynauds specialist he refused to send me didnt think he was allowed to in this day and age

I am not impressed with that! Stand your ground until he gets so fed up with you he does anything you ask! You need a rheumatologist - although I am no doctor. What does anyone else think?

You need to be referred to a Rheumatologist, you have the right.
