The swelling in the hands was actually one of my first symptoms, i cant stand it because when it happens it hurts to clap my hands, open a bottle, drive anything causes pain and i have to not do any activity with my hands for at least 24 hours for the swelling to even begin to alow down

Maybe the swelling and inflamation has cause blood to rise to the surface and caused the darkening?🤔

The swelling is normal for inflammation. Praying for you! Sleep well tonight!

That has happened to me. My doctor says it is from the medicines taken. Either prednisone or hydroxychloroquine. My hands has turned completely dark too.
