A member asked:
Do our hands and/or the joints in them tend to grow/enlarge as we age? have noticed a ring given to me as a teenager no longer fits (in late 30s now).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A lot of people develop Arthritis which enlarges the joints in the fingers. As you age most women gain weight after pregnancy. The combination of both will change your ring size. If you take the ring to a real jeweler they can cut the band and enlarge it for you.
