What Does Swelling In The Fingers Indicate?

Hayyaaa! My name is Vayda and I have noticed lately and for a while that I have big fingers. And yes I know some people just have them sometimes. But nobody I know really has a size 11 ring at age 13. Now, Im not obese but I am 130 lbs for 13 year old. I am very healthy I do exercise and other stuff too. I checked online and it said that I might have arthritis but my fingers do not hurt. I am really curious why this is happening. I also don t have any allergic reactions or anything allergenic. I am not allergic to anything I just don t understand why I have such big fingers. Please come back to me on this I appreciate it thank you

Hello,

I need to know your height also. If you have gigantism, then you do have big fingers.

Yes, with arthritis also the fingers will so. If that is the case then you need to go physician for treatment but my feeling is if it's not hurting you and if it is not swollen, then you do not have to worry at all.

If your fingers are big and you are using bigger ring then what does really matter to you. You will have more power than others and your fingers look good with the ring.

Without pains or swellings, just do not bother about it. If you are overweight kindly reduce your weight doing the diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
