A member asked:
If i go walking, my hands swell; what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Position of hands: When walking your hands are in a dependent position resulting in increased edema. In addition with the use of your legs for walking, the circulation to the extremities is increased also contributing to the increase in swelling in the hands.
