Hello,

Raynaud's phenomenon would be episodic occurrence of ischemic changes involving limbs as digits and toes which turn purple to blue when exposed to excess cold mostly. However, sharp pain in hips, buttocks and wrists do not co relate with Raynaud phenomenon.

Additional evaluation for associated arthorpathy, arthritis or others have to be considered with:
- Lab tests for specific antibodies as anti ds DNA or others
- Serum calcium, parathyroid hormone and phosphorus levels
- Bone densitometry with DEXA scan
- Bone scan with serial x-rays with or without MRI

If any of the reports are available with you, kindly share with me during follow up discussion for further guidelines and management protocol discussion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
