I've been dealing with this strange issue where my fingers swell up at night. It's happened four times this month, and it's just the phalanges, not the whole finger. It starts with itching, then affects about 12 of these tiny finger bones at once, but on different fingers each time. There's no joint swelling or pain, just itching and a sense of tightness where it swells. It goes away by morning and there's no other symptoms alongside it. Should I be worried or get this checked out?

I'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?

Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.

I've been dealing with high uric acid levels and was at around 7.6 a couple of months ago. After starting on zyloric 100 mg tablets daily, it's dropped to 6. But I'm still struggling with a burning sensation in my feet. My uncle, who's a doctor, suggested I try Rejunuron injections, so I took five doses of the 500 mcg injection. Even with that, the burning feeling hasn't gone away. Could you help me understand why this might still be happening and what steps I could take to get rid of this annoying burning in my feet?

That could be Peripheral neuropathy,take vit B12 shot once in a week for 4 weeks and later alternate weeks and also massage your feet by placing them in warm salt water at bed time tjis would help,if its still becoming worse visit Physician for medical treatment
