I have both PV and ET I have had issues with my right hand. I will post pictures and I’m wondering if this is from my blood disorder? Thanks Pam

Hi @blondie65, Yikes. That swelling looks painful! Is this a recent development for you? Considering that you have PV and ET, both having the potential to form blood clots, my suggestion is to have your hand checked by your doctor ASAP. If for no other reason than to make sure you’re not having circulation problems or excess fluid retention.
Have you changed medications lately?
