Common Questions and Answers about Finger swelling in pregnancy

Avatar n tn I had a lot of swelling at the end of both of my pregnancies and I had bit feet. Try to put them up which helps with swelling. While it is normal for most women, it also can be a sign of blood pressure issues. Your doctor will check this . My doctor monitored swelling. She'd put her finger into it and it pitted (imprint of her finger stayed for a bit), that was more concerning.
Avatar f tn We have recently been to the ER for extreme swelling in her right arm. They did an ultrasound and found no clots. She has always has swelling and extreme pain in the right wrist as well as the arm and shoulder. Do you think the Chiari is causing the swelling or could it be the bulding discs causing her pain and swelling? She also suffers from such severe leg and hip pain as well as severe headaches.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have swelling in my pinky finger for about 2 - 3 months. If i bump my pinky it is very sore by the middle joint even if I touch it.I went to an orthopedic hand specialist and he asked if I jammed my finger. I explained to him that I didn't jam my finger. He took x-rays and said it wasn't dislocated.He then came back into the room and said I probably jammed my pinky and just don't remember. I know I would remember jamming my finger as I have done that in the past.
Avatar f tn The doctor recommended surgery to pin and straighten out the bone and my mom decided on getting me the surgery. The finger unfortunately never went straight and was stuck in what looked like it was in the asl sign for "X" or I was making an R with my finger. Two years later it began to turn bright red and hurt really bad. They found that I had started to grow a second finger (or bone) underneath my my finger. The best description of it would be a bone spur.

1139665 tn?1382710950 I can actually press on my shins and leave finger dents which totally disgusts me. The swelling is gone down in the morning but i can still leave those little impressions in my shins, even though my legs look no longer swollen. Baby is doing great...20 week ultrasound was perfect, i measuring a day ahead of my due date but other then that everything was good. I'm just curious if anyone else has had this or if i'm a lucky one who swells up like a blimp.
Avatar n tn Ive been told its carpal tunnel syndrome and that it will go once bub arrives, its due to swelling in the wrist/hands and compressing nerves. It is very unpleasant though!!
Avatar f tn Yes, my fingers have been swollen this pregnancy #3. I never swelled w my last two pregnancies, ever. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring most of this pregnancy. But my feet/ankles are normal.
Avatar f tn I got taken off work cause of my swelling in my feet and legs. At first my BP was really good but work got stressful and the dr said it was a good idea seeing as it caused my BP to go up just a little. It would hurt to walk on my feet and my socks would cut into my legs. Now the swelling is staying down unless I am on my feet for hours.

Avatar f tn yeah my mom said she winded up having to get off a week before she had me because of hbp
Avatar n tn I would say it would be a good idea to check it out, you may need a tetanus shot and it sounds like it is infected, put some OTC anti biotic cream on a band aid on it till you can get it checked out, Good Luck
492921 tn?1321289896 I have gotten some degree of swelling in the last trimester with all of my pregnancies. The swelling in itself doesn't concern me. I've had swelling this time for about 2 weeks. Mostly in my legs. They get really heavy and are hard to move. I also have some aching and stiffness in my hands as well and my rings are tighter.
Avatar f tn After few such dips, passive mobilization or assisted mobilization is done by a physiotherapist. b) Same as hot water fomentation in which finger is dipped in luke warm water, and then passive mobilization is conducted. For the problem you mentioned that your finger is pointing towards the pinky finger, there are some options like putting a brace to maintain the normal position. After a while, this brace can be removed.
Avatar n tn m now faced with is that four months on from the accident I am getting swelling in both my thumb and my index finger. The ends of my fingers feel slightly numb and I can feel what seems to be a hard ball like shape in the palm of my hand below my index finger. My local GP and specialist can't tell me why my index finger is now swelling or why i've lost a degree of feeling in the tip of it. I'm an interpreter for the deaf, so my livelihood depends on my hands.
Avatar f tn I went through the same thing. It was so swollen down there my husband and I couldn't be intimate for an entire 2 months. TMI but he couldn't get a finger in there THATS how bad it was, I was on the verge of tears. Nothing I did really helped except lube. Its just all the extra blood your body is producing now for the baby pumping down there. It went away like 2 months ago.

Avatar f tn Try drinking water and resting with your arm elevated see if that helps I had to go in hospital about two weeks ago for observation and had an IV in and the next morning my hands were so swollen I had to take my wedding rings off since then I check my rings several times a day and take them off if it feels like its getting tight at all and put them on a chain around my neck you may have to keep it off for the rest of your pregnancy if the swelling doesn't stay down but you don't have muc
