Yes: Raynauds can occur for many reasons including trauma, infection, autoimmune diseases, spondyloarthropathies, or independent of other diseases.

Usually not: Raynaud's usually occurs with scleroderma or Lupus, but can occur spontaneously in anyone. So, it could be a coincidence. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Not usually: This is not the usual association and would not expect it to be related. If you have Raynaud's it needs to be evaluated to see if it is related to another reason.
