A member asked:
After my workout today-a run- my fingers felt bloated like sausages. when i made a fist and released, it took forever for color to come back. normal?

Yes: I find that with running, my fingers and hands are swollen for some time afterwards, especially on warm days; physiologically, i believe that this has to do with body's increasing blood flow to the peripheral tissues (arms in this case) in an effort to reduce core temperature; i assume it resolves after exercise and some rest;.
