This is minor...but the last several days my hands feel so swollen and tight like they are being blown up like a balloon and about ready to burst. The thing is.... to look at them, they are not swollen one little bit?!?! MS related?????

Thanks

I'd say yes, probably related to ms. Nothing at all surprises me about this disease. Nothing at all.

Half of my left hand feels like that. (the pinkie and ring finger mostly, but a little bit of my middle finger feels like that too.)

Feels bigger and heavier, but if I look at the hand, or touch it with my other hand, it looks and feels normal.

Sometimes I think the MS takes me to BizzaroLand. Because things feel so bizzare!

and now, after I posted in another thread earlier that my hand had quit hurting earlier this month when I was taking a steroid taper, it's starting up again with the crushing feeling again a little bit ago. Argh! And I was so hoping to be able to fall asleep tonight. *grumble*

I do this now and again, and cant always figure out why. Sometimes its walking, and the blood flow rushes to my hands. sometimes I wake like that. I find soaking them helps, and so does exercising them to help the stuff fluids move along. Massage the wrists and the arms to promote drainage.

I hate this stupid disease.

Yes, probably. My entire right hand has felt like that for two years now. Funny thing is, though, I can feel pain there. If you stuck my hand with a pin I'd definitely feel it. But the only way I can describe the sensation is "numb". Feels very, very tight like it's swollen.....but it's not. Sometimes it's worse than others.

Weird. Have you been checked for that condition that swells hands? I forgot what it's called...is it Sjorgren's? Sheesh, my brain's swiss cheese lately.
Hope you can find something to decrease that feeling...that stinks
