I'm sitting here kind of freaking because I am having intense burning pain in my left hand. It appears like the vein on the side of my finger into my palm is swollen, and that is right where the pain is coming from. I am wondering if this type of burning "vein" pain is part of scleroderma or not? My imagination is running wild that I am having a stroke, and the anxiety is going to keep me up all night. :( The pain is hot, almost like a stabbing pain, and it's right there in the vein. I also have it sporadically in the tips of my fingers and bottom of my feet. All of my veins in my hands for the past month have seemed to be getting more and more swollen (along with finger joint pains and phlebitis in my right leg). Thanks for reading and for any advice.
