hello, i’ve got these thin, visible “branch-like” veins (?) around my finger joints (pip and pid, i think…), palm side. they look purple/blue depending on the hand position, and it hurts to bend these joints. i was diagnosed with either sjogren’s or uctd about 5 years ago. is this normal? it will take a while to get an appointment with my rheumatologist–is this something that requires immediate care?
many thanks.
