How to REDUCE Hand Swelling 

These are SO good for that!! After I walk my hands always swell and I love to do these pumping exercises after to help get the swelling down. So glad you like it!

😂 thank you! Haha

I hope your hand is ok!

Lmfao

😂😂😂

I hope ur friend was ok

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

That’s wonderful!!! I’m happy that you’re having good results so far. Thank you for watching!

Yes!! I’m so happy it worked for you!

It’s common to get swelling in the hands with cardiovascular activity (even when nothing is wrong) especially with heat! Our hands are below heart level and swelling gets stuck there

I hope some of these ideas work for you!!

Thank you!!! *heart melting*

It’s crazy how diet sometimes makes a big difference!!

Do you have chilblains? I’m sorry to hear that!

Ye but now there better but there is skin that I can peel

@@eronpradeep324 Here's some information about chillblains and expected recovery, when to reach out to your doctor, etc. Best of luck! www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chilblains/symptoms-causes/syc-20351097

🙂we are same me too my hand swell during winter and it's winter now so was checking how to reduce my swelling but end up knowing that it is call chilblains hahaha thanks to your comment

Thank you!! I'm glad it helped!

Nice dp ❤️

Thank you!! I’m glad to hear it!

I'm glad to hear it!

Thank you!!

Elevate as much as you can (hand above elbow, elbow slightly above shoulder)! Pumping exercises with the fingers will help a lot, and you can try retrograde massage for your fingers as well! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qlIJ-1fXxOw.html Should be ok to use ice on your fingers, too.

Good luck!!

Hit*

🤣It usually occurs lol when finger is hit by that leather ball.. LOL

It really helped ? Me gonna try this too ! My fingers are swollen from dribbling practice 😥😭

@@enaayat6424 Use a little hot Musterd Oil and Turmaric Paste , it will Help you 🙏😊 olive oil can Also be a Good option

Yay! I’m so glad it helped for you!!!

@@ForwardTherapy I woke up this morning with my hand swollen plus my ring was stuck so I was freaking out because I couldn't get it off!! so I found your video and like Magic the swollenness went down and my ring came off. Thank you thank you thank you

Ah that’s the worst feeling ever! I’ve had my ring get stuck before and it was scary enough to make me never wear it to bed again! So glad it worked (:

I’m glad it helped!!

Thank you! Hope everything gets better soon!

I’m so glad!!!

So sorry to hear about your injury!! I hope your recovery goes so well! Good luck (:

Mine did to

it should! but swelling can hang in there a while (depending on the reason).

I’m not sure if I understand your question...can you clarify?

I’m so glad it’s helping!!

@@ForwardTherapy I wants to know where are you from?

@@amanpreetkaur4847 Originally from Colorado but now living in Northern California! (US)

@@ForwardTherapy you are from US ... 😘 I am from India (Delhi)

Hopefully these motions and strategies help!!

Pumping exercises can be difficult at first when your hand is swollen! They can also feel uncomfortable. Keep elevating the hand and try using ice to help with the swelling, and try to elevate the hand and do finger movements like pumping every couple hours. You can also try retrograde massage! Swelling can come back, so sometimes you have to keep doing the exercises and using ice and elevating,

I’m sorry!!! Hope it gets better soon! If not, check with a doctor to make sure it isn’t broken!

I punched a wall and my hands just feel numb and painful

why on earth you punch the wall. ouch!

I’m sorry it’s hurting!! I’m not sure I completely understand what you’re describing...are you having trouble bending the elbow? Or lifting the shoulder?

@@ForwardTherapy both i can not bend my elbow very well, and if i am bending it it is paining much . but shoulder its ok ..

Hmm...sounds like it might be time to call the doctor and check in! Since it’s been about a week since it happened and you still have significant pain, I’d recommend calling your doctor.

Hi, sorry to hear about your injury! I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like you should follow a rest, ice, and elevation protocol in the first couple weeks. Sprains can take a while! Always good to have a doctor check it out to make sure it is a sprain and advise on the best treatment plan

Sorry to hear that! Cold related injuries may require additional exam from a doctor!

Definitely worth a try! Hmm, interesting that it's localized to that area.

@@ForwardTherapy thank you so much!

not entirely sure what you mean, but these strategies are effective for reducing swelling in the hand and fingers.

Oh no! Sounds like you might want to get a doctor to check it out!

Try to take breaks frequently! After you play, maybe try icing!

Great question! I am actually not sure, but now I’m interested so I’ll have to do some research! Sounds like a great question for a doctor 😉

@@ForwardTherapy need to know more about this, cause im suffering with this disease and i have joint pain

Do you have a doctor treating you? Would be a good question to ask!!

@@ForwardTherapy yes im on medication.its been a month

I’m sorry to hear that!! I hope it gets better soon!

Seems like a good sign it doesn’t hurt! Keep an eye on it, if it doesn’t seem to go away, might want to follow up with a doctor. No injury or trauma that might have occurred?

@@ForwardTherapy thanks alot but than no point to do same exercise ..?

I’m not sure I understand your question...you can try using ice, elevating, and using these pumping hand movements, to see if the swelling goes down.

Depends on where the fracture is! If your fingers are free, move them as much as possible like seen in the video!! Sometimes casts are made to come up too high, preventing full finger movement. If this is the case and you have a broken wrist, in which the fingers don’t need to be immobilized, go back to the doctor or casting tech and ask them to free up the fingers. But always refer to your doctor - they know exactly what needs to be immobilized!

Yes! Please do, I hope it works out for you!

@@ForwardTherapy its working pretty good for me, thank you.

Sorry to hear that! These strategies may not be enough - recommend checking in with your doctor if you can’t get the ring off.

Chilblains aren’t caused by swelling, it’s caused by cold exposure. So I wouldn’t think these things would be very helpful in clearing it!!

@@ForwardTherapy my fingers got swellon due to chilblains .. aren't these exercises will help to reduce this kind of swelling too

Ah!! Ok! I see what you’re saying - I misunderstood. Yes, I would think doing pumping exercises would help!

Sorry to hear that! Hope it goes well.

Hi Dean, hope you're doing good!!!! And whatever it is I hope you get the best possible solution to it

Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I hope this helps

@@ForwardTherapy i believe it actually did relieve some of the fluid!! tysm!

My vet told me to wack the ganglion with a heavy book like a big paper pack.

I’m so sorry to hear about your finger! Did you have an injury?

No I recently went camping and I think I got a bug bite It was super itchy but I can’t find the bite because one of the nights I left the door open to the tent

Oh dang!!! Well if it doesn’t get better in a few days (or starts getting worse at any time) you might wanna check with a doctor, it could be an infection.

Don’t worry it helped and also I put some ice on it so it’s going down I was just itching it alot

That’s good news! Probably just needed a little time to heal, the body was probably trying to react to the foreign bite. Glad to hear it’s better!

Swelling in the fingers can be tricky! Ice and elevation are a good place to start, and you can try these pumping exercises (movement tends to really help), or try a contrast bath (switching between cool and warm water), or try retrograde massage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qlIJ-1fXxOw.html I hope that helps! Good luck with your finger!

Hmm...that’s interesting! Was there an injury that occurred? Did you have a cold related injury like chilblains or frostbite?

No ..it was just chilblains ..but fingers are in there swollen size even after winter is gone

@@alizain6634 hmm...I think it could be possible, but I'm definitely not an expert in this area. I would recommend talking with a physician about it, because in my understanding symptoms from chilblains should go away within a couple of weeks. But maybe there is something lingering with the circulation that could cause increased swelling?

It depends! Sometimes there are vascular conditions like raynauds that cause swelling and that isn’t always as affected by this type of exercise

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! You’re still experiencing a lot of swelling? What kind of exercises do you do to stretch, help strengthen, etc?

@@ForwardTherapy So I have a 3 pound weight, on a string connected to a stick, and I use 5 pound dumbells to side to side movement, and up and down

Sounds like a good start! It also usually helps to do upper body exercises - shoulder and back, bicep and tricep exercises, as well to help the wrist.

Swelling can be relieved by ice, elevation, movement, manual edema mobilization, and compression!

Sorry to hear about your hand! Might be a good idea to check with a doctor and make sure you don’t have a broken bone! It happens fairly commonly with punching walls or other objects. I hope you’re doing ok.

Oh, no! I’m sorry to hear that!! Sounds like a nerve - could be compression or overstretched. Likely due to positioning or posture. I’d go get a doctor to check you out and make sure there isn’t something else going on!

@@ForwardTherapy thank you for responding

@@iamdissapointed6810 How are you now? Did it get better?

Tell me a little more about his symptoms! Flexor tenosynovitis typically presents with a nodule/lump in the palm, usually right at the palm crease. It also can have clicking, locking, or triggering of the finger, and stiffness and pain.

@@ForwardTherapy Symptoms like, swelling of entire finger, intense pain when trying to bend the finger, feeling numbness & stiffness in finger, and sometimes it feels like something is moving inside the finger. Plz recommend some medicines or home remedy. Currently, he's applying ice cubes on fingers and doing physiotherapy. & must appreciate your kindness towards humanism :) Thanks ma'am

I’m not a doctor so I can’t recommend medicine! But therapy should be helpful!! Sometimes it helps to take a look at nutrition and make sure he’s getting enough vitamins and minerals, and noticing when eating if any foods seem to trigger the symptoms. NIH is a good website to look at for nutrition! Numbness usually indicates nerve involvement as well. Definitely speak with the physiotherapist and talk about home management program to help him when he’s not at therapy, too!!

@@ForwardTherapy Alright ma'am Hope you understand the current circumstances due to coronavirus, we're not able to go anywhere. That's why we're getting more distressed don't know what should we do? It's my humble request if you clear my confusion about trigger finger and flexor tenosynovitis according to the symptoms I've told. Thanks ma'am

Flexor tenosynovitis is a fancier name for trigger finger. Typically will have a nodule in the palm that is painful with pressure, and will have clicking or locking when bending the finger. Swelling is not typically observed in the entire finger, more at the nodule. Try ice massage, retrograde massage, contrast baths, and pumping exercises to see if the swelling comes down. Does he have arthritis?

Are you on antibiotics??

in the palm?

@@ForwardTherapy exactly behind the palm the upper part now it's the wrist which has been swollen

I’m sorry to hear you’re having swelling! I’d recommend ice, rest, and gentle stretching to help it resolve

@@ForwardTherapy done I have cured it thank you so much😊❤

Did you get cut by it? Or did it jam the finger?

The thing was kind of sharp and pierced my outer skin layer.

Dang!! Keep a close eye on it to make sure you don’t get an infection from that!!

The swelling got better but if I rub on it, it’s a bit itchy.

Glad the swelling is better! May be itchy due to a histamine immune response? The body probably trying to flush any foreign matter out and respond to heal. Keep an eye on it!

Oh no!! I’m sorry that happened. If the pain and swelling continues, it would be worth going to the doctor and getting an x-ray to see if there’s a fracture. It would be unlikely that you’d have a fracture if you don’t have pain. Probably just a soft tissue injury! But keep an eye on it and when in doubt, check it out with your doctor.

@@ForwardTherapy ok

@@ForwardTherapy now the swollen thumb is gone but I have little pain I think it will heal in some days 🥺🤔

I hope it feels better soon!!!

@@ForwardTherapy ok

Sorry to hear about your hand! Have you seen a doctor?

There are LOTS of things that can cause hand swelling!

How long ago was the injury?

@@ForwardTherapy it happened three weeks ago

Be very very gentle with it. If you haven’t yet seen a doctor I would recommend you get X-rays and make sure the joint wasn’t damaged (sometimes when they’re relocated on the playing field there can be ligamentous damage that occurs). It’s still so early on and it greatly depends on how severe the damage to the tissues is - I can’t advise you properly without knowing exactly the severity and what structures were damaged

When joints are dislocated, ligaments are torn or damaged. They are not well vascularized, and they take 6-8 weeks to heal. They’re important because they hold the joints stable. So if it doesn’t heal properly or doesn’t get the appropriate medical management, there can be long term damages to the joint.

@@ForwardTherapy okay I understand that would be my next step i will go get an xray done just to make sure of what's happened in there because I feel theres been some damage from within. I'll let you know what I find. Than you for help I appreciate it

Hmm...I’d try using some ice on the hand after her work day and see if it helps! She should also try stretching the hand every couple hours during work!

Sometimes band aids can be too tight, and they usually restrict motion which can cause swelling (esp if there was a cut or something, the body is sending inflammation to help heal). Take the band aids off for a little bit and do some of these movements and hopefully it’ll help!

It definitely could be! That’s a lot of load on the hand for a long period of time. For example your head weighs about 10 lb and if you sleep with your head in your hand all night that’s a lot of weight for the hand to be taking stress from!

@@ForwardTherapy any tips on stopping yourself I'm a heavy sleeper. I don't realize I'm doing it.

@@deborahvasquez it's hard to control what you're doing during sleep. I think the best thing you can do is fall asleep in a good position, maybe hug a pillow or something? If it's causing numbness/tingling when you wake up sometimes a splint or brace can help!

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that! Anything that could have happened, like a bug bite or getting a cut on your hand somehow? Or having some sort of injury? I would definitely recommend checking in with a doctor if the symptoms seem to be getting worse.

Same for 4days

Oh no, sorry to hear about your hand!! What’s been going on?

@@ForwardTherapy the swollen fingers came from nowhere. I believe it's water retention. Any suggestions of how I got into this situation?

There are a lot of things that can cause swelling...No known injury that happened? Only on one side or on both hands? Any nutritional triggers that you know of that cause inflammation? Or anything like gout, rheumatoid conditions, lupus, diabetes, etc? You don’t have to tell me your medical history or conditions - that stuff is personal and probably shouldn’t be discussed on a RU-vid video. But there are a lot of systemic conditions that can cause swelling so might be something to look into. Definitely check with a doctor if it continues to make sure there isn’t something more serious going on!

Sorry to hear that! Have you checked in with a doctor to make sure nothing is fractured or sprained?

Vascular swelling? I’m not sure if I’m clear on what you mean...can you clarify?

@@ForwardTherapy my right lower forearm has been swelling for 6 months.after MRI and other test doctor said its vascular malformatin thats the reson of swelling.i am 30 years old. i never faced this kind of swollen before. let me know how i reduce this swelling.

@@rumanaakhterjui I'm sorry that's been going on! did the doctor have any suggestions for how to treat these symptoms? I'm not an expert in vascular malformation, so I don't want to give you advice that could be harmful. I would recommend seeking advice from your doctor! Sorry that I can't be more helpful, I wish you the very best of luck.

Because of an injury that happened?

Forward Therapy nope I scratched myself on it but I went to an doctor now it’s all better!

I’m so glad!!

Oh no!! Definitely try ice and let it rest. If it seems like it’s not getting better make sure to see a doctor!
