What Treatment To Be Taken For The Swollen Legs And Rash On Hips?

I have swollen legs, a rash on my hips, stiff finger and toe joints, pins and needles in my right foot, hand and wrist. I also have some nodules come up on my left thumb and right index finger. I have had a us on my right lower leg as it has been considerable larger than the left. The scan was normal. Blood tests and urine tests are normal. My GP has now prescribed Frusemide, which has help with the swelling. I reckon that I have gone down 2 dress sizes. I have also been very emotional, I do suffer from anxiety and depression for which I take 20mg of escitalopram. Stress is considered, I do not currently have depression.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I would like to say that your rash could be because of hypersensitivity reaction and this may aggravate with the emotional stress, it would be better to keep the stress level and better to keep the stress level very low, this would come around soon, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
