The swelling in your arm is due to the action of white blood cells taking action in your body. As the white blood cells see that something is wrong in your hand, they migrate to that particular area of your body and set to work repairing. Just like we sweat when we exert ourselves, the white blood cells are giving off a bi product as well. Think of it as though they are gassy. It may sound weird, but the bi product of their work is actually causing your arm/hand to swell. Edema is a medical term for localized swelling. Some quick fixes to swelling are massaging the area if you can tolerate a little pressure in that area. Gently rub the area. By massaging the area, it causes improved circulation in your hand making the swelling less intense.  Ice or cold compresses will also cause the blood vessels to constrict resulting in less swelling. Compression of the area will also help. Try an ace bandage, gauze, or any other material that may cause slight compression to your hand.

Sounds like poor circulation.  You might want to ask your doctor.  I think poor circulation in your feet can be a sign a diabetes.

If you think you're retaining water, in the sense that your feet are getting swollen and you are gaining weight, you're definitely not diabetic. However, you might have some degree of heart failure in which case a diuretic (water tablet) might help. See a doctor.

Foot Dr is sending u to another physician?  Look is the leg swollen or the ankle?  \n\nIf u sprain ur ankle it's going to take a while for it to heal.  I'm surprised they didn't put u in an air splint cast... it's an easy on/off support to wear while walking.  U can even wear normal shoes... Soaking in  warm,Epsom salt can't hurt nightly either.  But your going to have to prop the leg and rest it.   If the swelling is your leg... u need to definitely see the orthopedist.  U should see them if your ankle doesn't get better.  U might have a hairline fracture or worse.  Take it easy, rest the ankle and if it doesn't get better in few weeks go back to the foot doctor or orthopedist.

Hi, I don't have trouble with my ankles swelling, however one of the reasons your ankles could swell is possibly due to the fact that you are not active enough during the day because of your work situation. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the circulatory system and so requires body movement in order to move excess fluid to be processed and removed from the body. Try rotating your ankles periodically while sat at your desk, or try to move around the office more, if that does not help, please see your medical practioner to rule out anything else. \n Also, take a look at any medicatons you may be taking, some may cause swelling at the ankles, good luck xx

In addition to what has already been posted, sometimes allergies to foods or environmental agents can cause swelling.   Another cause could be blood pooling in the extremities (usually as a result of clasping your fists too tightly during exercise).  Elevate and/or cool the swollen area and if it doesn't return to normal within a few minutes, call your doctor.

Edema is an observable swelling from fluid accumulation in certain body tissues. Edema most commonly occurs in the feet and legs, where it also is referred to as peripheral edema. The swelling is the result of the accumulation of excess fluid under the skin in the spaces within the tissues that are outside of the blood vessels. These spaces are known as interstitial spaces or compartments. Most of the body's fluids that are found outside of the cells are normally stored in two spaces; the blood vessels (where the fluids are called the blood volume) and the interstitial spaces (where the fluids are called the interstitial fluid). In various diseases, excess fluid can accumulate in either one or both of these compartments. \n\n\nPitting edema can be demonstrated by applying pressure to, for example, the skin of a swollen leg, by depressing the skin with a finger. If the pressing causes an indentation in the skin that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to as pitting edema. Actually, any form of pressure, such as from the elastic part of socks, can induce the pitting of this edema.
