I have had swelling in my hands and feet he past few days, hands are stinging a little and the bottoms of my feet feel like blood blisters. Had to take my wedding ring off because the swelling was so bad in my hands. Anyone experiance anything like this?

Have you started any new meds recently?

Swelling can be an indicator of many things.
Swelling and tingling is definitely something to get checked out by a physician.
Some auto immune diseases do involve swelling.

Call your doctor. Whether or not you're on a new medication or what-have-you, it's best to have a qualified MD take a look. Could be as easy as "you're retaining water, let's see why" and poof, problem solved---could be a med, could be a lot of things, as Naturegirl said.

Keep us updated. I will keep a good thought for you and hope you find a healing solution soon:-)

I went to see my doctor they think I have lupus, seeing a rheumatologist June 25th

So sorry to hear your doc thinks it's lupus. Glad you're going to rheumy though--he/she will get it figured out. What you described sounds a lot like how my hands and feet were when I was diagnosed with RA. But it could be a lot of things so try not to get too worried before tests are all run and a true diagnosis can be made.

Good luck!
