Recently diagnosed needing information

Hi I was diagnosed with Raynaud's phenomenon a couple of weeks ago. I have always had cold hands and feet. The last couple of months my hands were turning purple, looking bruised. Also had shooting pains, tingling and pain on bending fingers.
The med given is Nifedipine 5ml X 3 daily.
My legs have started to go purple now espcailly my knees,they look bruised and swollen so do my elbows. I thought Raynaud's only affected hands and feet, not legs and arms. Any info would be appreciated THANKS

Thanks so much for your reply and explanation. It makes things a lot clearer. No wonder I like my baths red hot. Does stress make it any worse ??
Thanks again x

I think I sent a message incorrectly and meant to send to u. Your information about diet pills I have never heard about before. My Dr gave me redux during the time I was diagnosed with raynauds. Thanks for info.

Sjogrens disease, Vasculitis, neuopathy. I also have Fibromyalgia. I'm on so many meds now. But I really still suffer from the cold. We can't let ourselves get too cold for too long or can suffer damage.
