Do your fingers swell up in the summer/shrink in the winter ...
 
..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 04-01-2014 10:52 AM

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

Cherie 04-01-2014 10:53 AM

Nope.

T* 04-01-2014 11:12 AM

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

Marc 04-01-2014 11:14 AM

Perhaps THATS why I've gained weight...

Kate! 04-01-2014 11:16 AM

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

:joker: You need to do something about that.

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. 04-01-2014 12:07 PM

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

Z 04-01-2014 01:47 PM

I've no idea :shrug:

mizzy25 04-01-2014 02:12 PM

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

Josy 04-01-2014 03:00 PM

Nah.

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

AnnieK 04-01-2014 03:01 PM

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....

..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....

Cherie 04-01-2014 04:42 PM

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 04-01-2014 04:56 PM

..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 07-01-2014 06:12 AM

..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....
