Hand Swelling After Physical Activity Posted: 05-08-06 21:41pm
I am a 16 year old female in fairly good
shape. Because I live on a small farm and
always have, I am more muscled than the
average girl and I do a fair amount of
physical activity. For about two years
now, my hands have been swelling greatly
after I do something as slight as jogging
a a few yards. Once, while in pe, my
hands swelled so badly that my teacher had
my sit out for the entire class period.
I have few other diagnosed conditions. I
have migraines, bad knees which I was born
with, chronic shoulder and neck tension,
and low blood sugar. Apart from those
things, I have few problems. I have few
allergies, though I cannot tolerate sugar
substitutes which give me a bad headache
and stomache pains and I can only have
cow's milk if it is an ingredient in
something.
Usually, the swelling last between half an
hour to two hours. They swell to the
point that I cannot bend my fingers. My
blood pressure is fine.
Are there any suggestions as to what this
might be? I know that it is not a pms
symptom because the swelling occurs
regardless.
