I have heard of drinking water to help with swelling. I do drink a lot of water everyday but it hasn't helped with the swelling.

I forgot to say also all of my fingers are swollen. I have had to take all of my rings off. The only one I still have on is my wedding ring and I am hesitant about taking it off yet but I have to use butter to get it off. This just started awhile back.

My right hand is the worst but I am having surgery on it next Thursday. I think some of the swelling on my right hand is from my injured finger but I do know it's not all that due to my left hand being the same.

It would be interesting to find out what your Dr. says Jose. Any input would be good.

Ali, could you buy 2 pair of shoes to get two different sizes. I know it could get expensive if you buy very many pair but maybe one good expensive set would help for when you have to go places.

Thanks for this thread Mike, maybe we can learn from others how to deal with some of the swelling.
