When I woke up this morning all of my fingers were very swollen. I can only bend them about half way. It's not my whole hand that's swollen, only my fingers. When I sleep I usually sleep with my hands under my pillow, but if anything ever happens from that it's usually that my hand has "fallen asleepp". This happened to me once before but it was a while ago so I really don't remember what I did. I took some advil & benedril a little bit ago. But I need to find out what to do because I have a volleyball game this afternoon! Thanks for any help.

To the person who asked, I typed it with my 2 first fingers, haha.

I used to wake up with my face or lip swollen. Mine was hives. If your hands are red, it may be hives which means take more benedryl but if not, try ice as everyone says. I have had my wrists to swell but not my hands so I don't know if it is the same thing I used to get all the time.

Just drink lots of water with lemon (it's a natural diuretic). Sometimes that can be caused by what you ate the day before if it was particularly carb or sodium heavy. Good luck at your game!

soak in a bowl of cold water with ice cubes to reduce swelling - cut out salt and watch your sodium intake.
