Hi, my sister is 38 years old and she is suffering from Raynaud's syndrome. Her circulation was bad so she felt coldness in her hands at first. In last several days she is complaining about pain in her fingers. She will go to see her doctor next week but I would like to know what may be the reason for such pain. Thanx.
Hi, as person who is suffering from Raynaud's syndrome for several years I may tell you that bad circulation which caused coldness is also provoking pain. Bad blood supply is responsible for pain which is your sister experiencing. It may be improved with medications like calcium channels blockers which would maintain enough quantities of blood to her fingers.
Hello there norine,
Unfortunately there is not much you can do to help your sister in this situation. It is necessary for her to visit her doctor and to get new medications if the old ones aren’t working properly and judging the pain she has been experiencing because of the bad circulation it is very likely that her body got adjusted to the anti-inflammatory medications she has been taking so far.
Also, it is very common situation that medications aren’t helping with the pain. My aunt, she is suffering from the Raynaud’s as well, has managed to deal with this pain by working out. This is also good way to improve the blood flow. Keep us posted about your sister’s condition and I hope that everything will turn out just fine.
