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?

I went to the ER and they said it was a hematoma and wrapped ace bandage around my hand. It got worse I called my hematologist office and they reviewed my labs from the ER. Had me come in for a phlebotomy and did not see a Dr. Gave me an appointment for this Thursday so they can recheck my blood and adjust my medication which I take one baby aspirin and one 500 hydroxyurea.I think my hand issues are related to my blood disorder.
