What Causes Painful Swelling In The Arms, Hands, Wrists, Fingers, Feet And Ankle?

I have been experiencing swelling, pain and burning in my arms, hands, wrists, fingers, feet and ankle for over a month now. Since Wednesday the pain has gotten worse and is now constant and accompanied with a back of the head headache. It is so bad that i am having trouble walking because the bottom of my foot is swollen and hard and one of my ankles gives up when I put pressure on it. I had a baby in March and since giving birth I only urinate once or twice a day but I always keep myself hydrated. I drink over 8 bottles of water daily. I m not sure if that has anything to do with the pain. The pain is severe as is the burning sensation.

Hello,

Please check your blood HB level. Lower blood HB level will do the whole body swelling and pai.

Also, check the blood rft since your urine output is less even-though you are hydrated well or you go for blood RF, CRP, ASOtitrefor rule out rheumatism. Better consult one general physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
