Experiencing Heat in the Joints of the Hand and Foot Posted: 03-06-06 16:09pm
For the last few weeks I have noticed a
warming or hot spot on my left hand by the
knuckle of the index finger and on the top
of my left foot just below the big toe. I
have tried to see it it feels warm to the
touch when it occurs but I think the
warming or hot spot feeling in internal.
It comes and goes several time a day
everyday. Any ideas what it might be? The
only other thing that seems odd is that I
feel more tired than usual. I don't know
whether they are connected or not, or if I
could just chalk it up to the fact that I
have 4 children!
It is possible the symptoms you describe
are caused by fatigue. I believe that it
is very difficult to raise 4 kids and to
do all the work required to manage a
household. If you continue to experience
the sensations, you can visit a general
practitioner for advice.
