Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2006Blue Toe ~ Lurker
I am 67, having had RA for 15 years. I am not a diabetic. Has anyone ever had, or heard of this? I referred to it as a black toe, but the doctor speaks of it as a blue toe. This began Jan. 22, and do have excruciating pain at times. Taking Naprosyn and Tylanol. They seem to think that a tiny piece of plaque has gone down to the smallest view which is at the end of the toe next to my small one on the right foot. They have checked my pulse and pressure from my thighs to my toes in both legs, which are all clear. No one has said how or when it will clear up. On an antibiotic for the next two weeks. Is this anything like you had, Rosie? Maybe not. Nanny >I am 67, having had RA for 15 years. I am not a diabetic. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > No one has said how or when it will clear up.

'Cept that I had gangrene due to a blood clot. They originally told me it was perhaps plaque...but they say that to everyone with cholesterol over 200. Quitting cigs has reduced my risk for getting gangrene greatly. I have connective tissue disease and Reynaud's Syndrome, too. I recommend that the OP have her clotting factor tested and have an ANA titer. Every garden variety Rheumy can do these and interpret them. :-) Hugs from Rosie  Signature"If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself." -- Meat Loaf, Bat Outta Hell II > Is this anything like you had, Rosie?
