It started with a small swell between my first two fingers on my left hand. Day two it spread to the web between forefinger and thumb. My veins stood an eighth of an inch above their base and were vividly blue. Day three small swell starts to spread between but not on my knuckles, and my right hand got the localized swelling. Day four left hand has swelling to--but again not on--the first knuckle on the fingers and the thumb is swelling. Right hand following behind left in the same way. Left foot gets the swelling. Four days later right foot gets the swelling, left hand has red discoloration on the palm and the veins no longer stand out. Both hands feel like they are on fire. I've been twice to my primary care physician and both times she said we should wait and see. The second time she didn't even bother to look at the hands. I've been surfing the internet til my surfboard is paper thin and I can find nothing (not even a picture) of this. Have you got any ideas?
