Has anybody else had a swollen red finger joint during chemo?
The joint of my index finger is red and painful and the fingernail is discoloured. Currently in hospital and the doctors don't seem concerned about it. Any advice welcomed ️
I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through chemotherapy and that you're currently in hospital. I hope that things are improving for you.
It's understandable that you're feeling a little worried about the swollen joint and changes to your fingernail. Cancer treatment can cause changes to your skin and nails which you can read more about on our website.
It's good to hear that the doctors aren't concerned about the changes you've noticed but do keep an eye on things and if you notice any further changes or have concerns, then don't be afraid to ask again.
