Do your fingers swell up in the summer/shrink in the winter ...

[Ammi]

..very much..?...mine do and to the point where one of my rings is so loose, I'm worried I might lose it but I don't want to have it altered because it'll probably fit fine in the warmer weather...do toes swell and shrink as well..?..I haven't noticed.....

[smudgie]

Yes, normally.
But I am finding it hard to get my rings in in the morning as wel now..fluid retention I think.

[Cherie]

Nope.

[T*]

I'm not sure because I don't wear rings etc.

[Marc]

Perhaps THATS why I've gained weight...

[Kate!]

My fingers don't but my ankles do. Ugh fat ankles! Water retention is a terrible thing.

[smeagol]

no just my willy lol

[Cherie]

no just my willy lol

:joker: You need to do something about that.

[Kizzy]

It could be how warm or cold your hands are?
A high blood pressure can make your fingers/ankles swell too, might be worth getting it checked.

[Natalie.]

I don't think so I don't wear rings though

[Z]

I've no idea :shrug:

[mizzy25]

at the minute my fingers swell up anyway as I have carpal tunnel syndrome on my right hand.

[Josy]

Nah.

Isn't that caused by retaining fluid? maybe you have too much sodium in your diet.

[AnnieK]

Yeah...the rings I wear definitely feel looser when my hands are cold

..yeah, it's the opposite though, Kizzy...my fingers are much smaller/shrinking rather than swelling up....

Nah.

Isn't that caused by retaining fluid? maybe you have too much sodium in your diet.

..hmm, I don't think so, I do have splurges of eating rubbish but I'm generally quite obsessed about my diet..it's not retaining I don't think..it's shrinkage, I think maybe it's the cold..things get smaller in the cold/expand in the heat....

...ahh, thank you so much, Arista..that's really sweet of you but it's the opposite, they're shrinking fingers, I can tell because one of my rings is so loose and it didn't used to be....

Yes but Ammi
has Shrinking finger

[Cherie]

Yes but Ammi
has Shrinking finger

It is something to do with blood vessels increasing in the summer heat and decreasing in winter cold so I guess its relevant maybe!

[Ammi]

..I'll have a look at it, Cherie thank you...I thought that it happened to everyone in the cold weather but maybe it's just me, I've never noticed them shrinking so much before, though...

[Ammi]

..oh wow, it isn't just my fingers that are shrinking..I just put my work clothes on for the first time in a few weeks and I've got shrinkage everywhere....
