Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I do actually have some of them behind and above my right knee. They don't hurt and they tend to fade in and out......doc says it's nothing to worry about, though. Just one of those added bonuses we all love Triciailducks2004 wrote: Has anyone gotten red spots on their skin? Yesterday I thought I cut my thumb because there was a spot that was so red. I was kind of floored because it didn't hurt.When I looked at it more closely it looked like what varicose veins looked like at a distance. It was just a bunch of red squiggly lines (tiny); there was no pain or a cut. Woke up this morning and it is gone? It was located on the inside of the joint on my thumb.Just another thing to add to the Doctors list.Thanks,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I get them around my right knee, and on my arms all the time. Either that, or bruises. I'm still trying to figure out myself whether they are from the RSD or Fibro.... As I always say, if it doesn't hurt...its not something I worry about...lol Tonia -------Original Message------- I do actually have some of them behind and above my right knee.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 JoAnn - I get funky little red dots too. (Curiously, I have none right now.) For me, typically they end up turning into something like little puncture wounds and then heal and go away. I finally asked about them and was told by doctors that they were....yup, RSD related. Oy.

My doctor said the same thing, RSD related > rashes. > Take Care, > Sandi HI SANDI I HAVE HAD THAT KIND OF RASH ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING.IT COMES AND GOES. WITH ME THATS HOW I KNOW ITS FLARING UP. THREE WEEKS AGO IT STARTED WITH RED BLOTCHES BUT NOW IT FEELS LIKE THE SKIN ON MY ARM IS BURNING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.ITS VERY PAINFUL. IN A FEW DAYS HOPEFULLY I PREDICT IT WILL EASE UP AS IT USUALLY DOES AND I WILL SHED THE SKIN OFF MY ARM JUST LIKE A LIZARD LOL. MY DOCTOR SAID ITS ALL PART OF THE RSD. I PUT E CREAM ON IT. NOT SURE IT REALLY DOES ANYTHING TO HELP THOUGH, AND WHEN IT STARTS TO PEEL OFF IT ITCHES SO BAD.I USE ANTI-ITCH GEL.JUST CURIOUS WHAT DO YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN WHEN YOU GET THAT? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED HAVE A NICE WEEKEND TAKE CARE STACEY NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
