I'll definitely ask my rheumatologist whether they are connected to my problem or not. But these look new to me as I don't think I have seen them before. I have some on my chest but raised and bigger than those on my arms, I have had them for years already. Today I was checking on my arms and I noticed pinpoint red dots, it looks like someone literally poked my skin multiple times with a needle. At today's examination there are no pathological changes that would indicate an increased risk of developing systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis or MCD. Some of the loops have dilated arms/ansa but they don't meet the criteria of megacapillaries. The conclusion is: the appearance of a nailfold as well as the flow are within normal range. My dr.thinks the cause of this is same reppetitive use but she also made an appointment with a rheumatologist and told me that they might want to do a nailfold capillaroscopy. Now, first three fingers of my both hands give me that swollen sensation in the morning, my index finger still looks kind of bigger than the one on my non dominant hand, I had a cut/injury one day on it and it swell up the next day for a few days, then it reduced in size. Everything came back normal, ANA was 2+, but they wrote below that the ANA they found was not typical ANA for autoimmune diseases, it was moderate intensity and more likely associated to some kind of inflammation, medication use, alergy or some other, non-autoimmune conditions. thought it was RA so she did CBC again, Ast, alt, fibrinogen, urinalysis, and ordered C3, C4, RF, ANA, ANCA. Also, one morning I would have that feeling, the next I wouldn't. There were days my index finger would swell up. There's no remarkable visible swelling, I just have this kind of a morning sensation where my palm of the fingers give me a swollen feeling once I wake up and try to make a fist a couple times, then it is gone after few times. I remember I changed my work from using computer to not using it at all for 2 months and somehow my problem has stopped. She gave me naproxen but I don't think it did the trick back then. (To note, I was a heavy computer user, I used to be on a computer for about 7-8hrs every day for about 10 years). I went to a dr.2 months later while it was still being a little swollen, I did a CBC and urinalysis and everything was within normal range. Finger was swollen for about a month or smt. My dr.thought it was some kind of an infection so she prescribed amoxicillin which hadn't done much. Hello! In april last year I had a sudden dull pain in my middle joint of index finger, after giving it a massage for a few minutes I noticed it was swelling rapidly, the pain stopped the same night but in the morning I woke up with a swollen finger.
