What Causes Swollen Hands While They Are Warm?

Why do my hands swell? My hands seems like the swell when they get warm. I have hep c and I am on 105mgs of methadone daily. I don t use any other drugs other than ibuprofen for tooth pain. I have noticed red splochiness on my hands but it looks like it s coming from under the skin rather than on top. I notice if I raise them at night while I sleep and keep them cold that the swelling goes down, so when I wake up they are normal. Then throughout the day they swell back up.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain and swelling over your hand seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
