Anyone waking up swollen???

I've been waking up in the mornings lately with swollen fingers and it sucks and is kinda uncomfortable! Anything I can do to make the swelling go down???? I usually swell after being outside, not when waking up.

Re: Anyone waking up swollen???

  • Yesterday I woke up so swollen I had to try on 4 pairs of shoes before I could find one that would go on!  I am ready for my skinny feet back!

  • Same thing here. My fingers are all pink and puffy in the morning. Yuck! If you hold your hands up over your head for a while, it helps. Rinsing them in cold water helps the tightness/discomfort.
  • Oh yeah, there's no hope for my feet. Thank goodness I'm in the south and can still get away with flip flops. If I wear my heels or even my tennis shoes, it's game over. Smile

    I'll try the cold water rinsing. The tightness is what bugs me the most.

  • Yep it has been happening to me for about 2 weeks now.  I have to take my rings off before I go to bed.  I try to reduce the swelling and pain my running them under cool water and keeping them above my heart as much as possible.  It seems to be worse if I got hot during the night.

  • This has happened to me the past two mornings, although this morning wasn't as bad as yesterday.  The swelling has gone down after a few hours. 
  • Oh yeah! My fingers are swollen in the morning. They also feel really tight. It goes away, but is not too fun. My feet are the same, for now. I only wear flip flops to work, so my feet will be fine no matter what.
  • fingers have been swelling for about a month, are tight, hurt, numb sometimes, and i have carpeltunnel-like symptoms in some fingers, can't even make them go straight, they stay bent for a while.

     to help with the swelling or pain i usually massage my hands, roll my shoulders, get the blood flowing.  it goes down some, but are just staying swollen now. 

  • i've been having this too. in the middle of the night and when i wake up in the morning i can barely move my fingers! it is really uncomfortable! i run them under cold water and try to massage then as best i can it goes away in 30 mins or so. i hope it doesn't get worse.... it also happens if i get too hot. and as for wedding rings i can't wear them at all  Sad
