Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Fingers

Hi, My index finger and the tip of two other fingers have been swelling for about two or three weeks. They don t feel painful or itchy at all and there is no peeling skin or bruises. I went to see a doctor a few days ago and have soaked my hand in hot water (hottest I can bear without causing skin burn). I was told they should turn blue and that should relieve the swelling, but after soaking for a few times there hasn t been any difference so far. Just wondering what might be the cause of the swelling and what should I do? Thanks, Lydia

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

There could be multiple causes including carpal tunnel syndrome (which makes you feel that you have swelling) or venous congestion. I suggest you visit the Orthopedic Surgeon for detailed examination and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
