My hands are always swollen pretty bad. 3 years now constant swelling. painful and annoying. any soulutions?

Question

I was pretty much a paraplegic for like a year and a half. Both wrists gave out at the same time to the point that I couldn't even eat or bathe. It's been a long road and I'm alot better but the swelling never went away. Any suggestions on how to manage swelling in the hands.

Answer 1

Exercises...meds...Swelling is a remarkable problem. You may get one area ok and several days later it is back. I know you can try squeezing a foam ball, walking fingers across the table, ummm seperating them...Get in touch with therapist and clear some exercises...Weather plays a part...
