When I’m active my hands get hot and veins in forearm feel like they’re going to burst. Please help.

I have reynauds as well. I can deal with the numbness and frozen fingers but what’s getting worse by the day is when I’m active, cleaning or excercising my hands get hot and I have shooting pain and throbbing in my forearm. Almost like they’re going to burst. This is making me so depressed. I can’t find anything on the Internet about it. Does anyone have this!

I get this too. I don’t think there is much we can do except to move more purposely and in a more relaxed manner, which can be done even if you are exercising vigorously. There are YouTube videos on stretching the hand and fingers that I find helpful. Make sure you’re not dehydrated and you don’t have other conditions, such as tendinitis.

I cannot help you with a specialist. I have Raynauds because I have cerebral palsy, so there is a lot of stigma and medical mistreatment and misunderstanding surrounding it. Honestly sometimes the best treatment for me is a giant glass of water and a pint of Guinness. I really like baths with epsom salt. You can sit in the lukewarm bath while it’s running and make it hotter and hotter so it doesn’t shock your Raynauds.

Could it be erythromelagia? I have it in my hands when I get hot, palms and fingers turn bright red and they burn. It is much less common than Raynaud's phenomenon but when it does occur, it can occur in tandem with Raynaud's.

In the last four years, Raynaud's has overtaken erythromelagia and 'episodes' are further apart now . One thing I wanted to mention, have you experienced a change in the way you experience heat because of erythromelagia? For example, I now experience quite tepid tap water as very hot water and it's increasingly difficult to use a hairdryer because of the burning pain it causes to the fingers. Let your doctor know that you have the two conditions running together.

I would take as good a photo(s) as you can of the redness and of the colour changes in your Raynuaud's and take them to your GP who may/should refer you to a rheumatologist. The throbbing of erythromelagia for me is like toothache in my hands. The wrong way of experiencing heat took a few years to arrive.
