question: Backing up 2 weeks I had my back fused. That went well but in the last 3 days I have developed swelling in my left hand pointer finger along with pain. The pain is localized in the palm when I force my hand open as far as I can I get red splotches in the palm that are painful if you push on them. The palms of both hands itch constantly . I am on blood thinners and high blood pressure meds along with pain and cholesterol meds. I have been taking benadryl for 2 days. Yesterday the same symptoms were on the bottom of my feet but are no longer having issues with them . Any thoughts would be great.
