Swollen hand, didn't hit it on anything?!


Question: Swollen hand, didn't hit it on anything!?
Ok, my hand started swelling up earlier today!. I did not hit it on anything at all, and now it is so swollen that part of my hand looks almost round!. When I try to move my ring finger, it twitches and shakes!. I have also now started feeling sick, and extreamly tired!. (I know it is late in some places, but I usually don't get even remotly tired for another two hours)!. Again, I didn't hit my hand on anything!. Should I be worried!? What could be causing my hand to swell, and me to feel sick!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I would venture to say the sick feeling is connected!. Could you have been stung!? Spider bit!? There are a number of things this could be!. You need to at least talk to a doctor!. Put it in a cold water bath to get the swelling down!.
Updating!.!.!. I hope you went to the ER, because it sounds like you've been bitten by a recluse!.
If it is traveling that fast, the sooner you are seen the better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is your hand hot and itchy as well!? It sounds like you have an infection and it really sounds like you have cellulitis!. Is there any sign that the swelling or redness is moving up your arm!?
I would go to emergency or critical care or whatever ever it is called in your area now!. This sounds like a serious infection and it could get a lot worse if you leave it!. You will need
antibiotics!. I know you think you didn't hit it or cut it but you can get celluitis which a very bad infection of the tissues
under your skin very quickly!. It just takes a tiny nick and the bacteria which is normally on top of your skin and is 'friendly'
slips into the nick and you are one sick puppy!. I have had
this about six times and two times the doctor never did find the 'entry' point (ie the nick or cut) please go right away as you will only get sicker!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you might have hit it while you were sleeping!.im a nurse have been for 8yrs got to see your local doctor a!.s!.a!.p and yes u should be worried!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
