A member asked:
My legs & hands are swelling since 1 month.i have been sitting for long time at a place.what will be the reasons behind it & what will be the remedy.

Prolonged sitting: Prolonged sitting can lead to swelling of the feet, and the best treatment is to get up an walk/stretch every 20-30 minutes. Holding your hands down (in a dependent position), and clothing that restricts the upper arm can explain hand swelling. There are also a host of medical conditions that can cause such swelling - see your doctor if this doesn't improve.
