Hello, I just found this site so I hope I'm posting this thread in the proper place. I'm looking for some answers/advice on what's been happening to my fiance lately.

It started with a bad flu, shakes, fever, sore throat.. etc

A couple of days after the flu left he said it felt like he had splinters in the tips of his fingers. Soon this moved to his feet. You could see small red marks on the tips of his fingers and bottom of his feet. We took him to the doctor who said the red spots were blood under his skin and sent him for some blood work. (haven't gotten the results yet).

By the next morning he couldn't even walk or button up his jeans due to the pain. His hands and feet were swollen. I took him to the hospital and they refered us to a dermatologist. The doctor at the hospital said it's NOT blood under the skin as the first doctor had told us. He also didn't think it was "hand foot and mouth disease" which is was I had suspected it was. 

He ended up not going to the dermatologist because the pain went away and the red marks were subsiding. Well now we're 5 days since the pain went away and he has no feeling in the tips of his fingers. He can litterally stab his fingers and wouldn't feel it.


Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Do you think a dermatologist would be able to help (If I can convince him to go).


Thanks in advance.
