TAK and Itching swollen toes.

Hello everyone. I have TAK which is currently under control but I keep having swollen red severely itching toes. It happens out of the blue and drives me mad. I also been getting it in fingers, although not as much. I have seen GP and they have no idea what it is. I have had diabetes test and that is clear. A podiatrist I saw recently seemed to think it was caused by circulation problems. Can anyone help. Thank you.
