If you have had sickle cell disease in your family, you should get yourself investigated with blood tests to confirm if you have the trait or not.
Next Steps
Confirm the presence of sickle cell trait first. And if it is present, consult a haematologist to learn as to how to prevent sickling of your RBCs. Also, get xrays of your hands and feet (ap and oblique views)
