Thanks for query on HCM.
Swelling indicates some pressure symptom on the circulatory system.
It usually occurs in carpel tunnel syndrome.
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is based on the seriousness of the condition.
If treated early, carpal tunnel symptoms usually go away with nonsurgical treatment with medicines like nsaid,muscle relaxant,physiotherapy,vitamins,mineral supplements.
Surgery is sometimes recommended when other treatment has not helped.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
