Default IR pics of my infection

My left hand has been in terrible pain for the past few days due to an infection at the tip of my finger from a wood splinter.

I know doctors use infrared for medical findings, so while I was resting from excruciating pain, I just wanted to see if I could clearly see the infected area with my infrared camera.

I sure did. I'm simply posting the pics so you can see how pain clearly shows up on an IR camera.

Jamie,

You will definitely detect anomalies with her step throat. Post the pictures here for all to observe.

Don't know if you saw these, but this was a one week progression after drugs.

The doctor found nothing wrong.

While we are on the foot pictures, can you tell me if you see a problem with my feet?

Dave. did you remove the wood splinter?
that would probably fix the underlying issue the body uses,
which is heat, and attacking the area of intrusion.

Your peripheral circulation (toes and proximal) is low. Coud be:

1) Diabetes.
2) Gout.
3) You are on perscription vasoconstrictors.
4) You smoke way too much.

There are the four most common indications (at least it was when I was doing medical thermography). I am not a physican and you should talk to yours.

Hope this helps;

No, but I do have some nice rated-X pics of my wife. Those pics are buried in my files.

Nope.

I do not have diabetes
I've never had gout
I take thyroid prescriptions, only.
I do not smoke.
