Sausage Fingers

Smiler · Mar 31st, 2009, 04:19 AM

I have had a bit of trouble with some puffiness to my ankles and feet, but nothing major. However today, i have noticed that my fingers are slightly puffy and if i try and clench my hands then the joints feel very stiff and awkward. I had midwife a few days ago and blood pressure etc was spot on, so not too concerned about general health at the moment. I was just wondering if anyone had any exercises that they found useful in sorting out puffy fingers. I have been stretching them out and shaking my hands about (looks really odd while I am sat in the office!) Thanks

i basically do what you do. stretch and shake. sometimes i simply ogle at them and wonder if they're going to burst anytime soon. =P

I can't wear any of my rings anymore, as my fingers are at least twice the normal size

Let's hope it eases off after birth, as I really miss wearing my wedding ring...

Mine have really swollen up today with the weather being warmer, it's such a horrible feeling!

Maybe try keeping them in the air for bit like above your heart - works for ankles doing that. I get this too from time to time usually from my mouse (pc mouse!)
