,

My toes do. They will be fine one days then I start to feel themaching by 2

days into the pain the nails turn blue. I have good pulses and my fingers

don't do it. I just chalked it up to RA, Fibro, or what ever diease happens

to be flaring at the time.

Hello,

when I have a flare the veins of where I am hurting become swollen, and stick

out in little knots. My rheummy told me that this was because when you have

inflamation the body needs to supply more blood to the area, perhaps this has

something to do with your finger discolouration. I particularly notice this on

my fingers and also the underside of my writst.

Have a great day.

[ ] Bruising w/ a flare up???

Hi, everyone, I hope everyone is doing well and Happy Holidays. I am

having a really bad flare up today and I was curious to see if anyone

has the same symptoms that I do. Whenever I have a bad flare up, the

joints on my fingers and toes look bruised. They don't look swollen,

but they feel like they are. I asked my rheumatologist and she

couldn't give me an answer as to why my fingers look black and blue.

Do anyone else's hands look like this when they are having a bad flare

up?

Pennie,

Thanks so much...that explaination makes sense. My rheumy never

could give me an answer because she had never seen anyone else whose

fingers looked like that. I was beginning to think I was alone w/

the black/blue fingers. Take care.
