Re: Burst Blood Vessel & Phlebitis

[Guest guest]

Hi Veena,

I'm so sorry to hear about your hand, that sounds really painful and

inconvenient for you! Hope it heals very soon. I don't know whether

it's any help to you, but I get phlebitis and spontaneous bursting

of my vessels which complicates my joint injuries a lot. I recently

dislocated (and query fractured) my left wrist and the doctors were

amazed at how much bruising I developed. Turned out I had broken

several vessels that were bleeding straight into the thumb joint!

The kind of damage they'd expect from a very heavy fall, rather than

a dislocation injury.

Please take care and although I know how hard it is, try to rest

your hand. Hopefully the support and anti-inflammatory gel will help

settle things very quickly. Have you considered asking your doctor

about a cream that would encourage the bruising to dissipate - I

think there is one called Hirodoid, that might help bring the

painful bruising out a little.

Love and hugs....Jo
