A member asked:
Why do hands swell and turn red after a day of light physical activity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it evaluated: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, cellulitis, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
