Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 I don't know if it's chiari related or not, but my hands also swell when ever I take a long walk. Margie in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Hi, I'm not sure if this is acm related or not, but mine do the same. It doesn't matter if I go for a walk, dance, or sometimes just sitting they can swell up & itch. Interesting.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Sorry to hear about your edema. When I had my last set of MRI's done last week, what an eye opener that was. The tech , after giving me 2mg. of Ativan slid me in & did the Cervical area first. Then she pulled me out while she adjusted rhe table for the Thoracic area. I stood quietly by the table for a few minutes until told to get back in. I was feeling fine. She said it would take about 20mins. Rather suddenly after 15mins. I could feel my body start to swell. I was very tempted to have her stop, & I kept telling myself it would be over momentarily. When she tried to extricate me I had to yell NO! with one complete & one partial tear in my left Rotator cuff, I couldn't raise my left arm over my head so they could pull me out. Finally the 2 tech'd helped me roll toward my right shoulder. Then one reached in & pulled my left arm above my head, I came straight home & jumped on my scale. I was 6lbs. heavier than I was that morning. Never will I go in a small MRI machine again. I notice that my hands & feet have a tendency to swell if I don't keep moving. Didn't laugh at the time, but roared when it was relayed at dinner. I am only 5'3''. My shoulders look like a football player. Pat, RN.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 It is normal for hands to swell when walking. However, perhaps yours, like mine, swell excessively so in a very short period of time.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 Hi, I'm new to the group. I have always had the problem of my hands swelling when I walk. Maybe there is a connection.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 I had never connected chiari with the swelling, but just a little while ago I was polishing my jewelry to take on a trip, and wear to church on Easter. I really didn't need to bother since the rings are too tight now anyway! What a bummer! christine POTS, dysautonomia chiari, stenosis Re: just wondered > I don't know if it's chiari related or not, but my hands also swell when ever > I take a long walk. > > Margie in CA > > > _________ > NOTE: NCC refers to posts with No Chiari Content > Unsubscribe Yourself: chiari-unsubscribeegroups > Technical Help: chiari-owneregroups > WACMA Home: www.pressenter.com/~wacma > WACMA List: www.eGroups.com/group/chiari > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 I wake up with my fingers (not the whole hand) swollen every morning. When exercising get a sensation of swelling but not always visible. Don't know if it's ulnar nerve damage, fms or chiari. just wondered > Does anyone have the problem of there hands swelling up?
