left hand swelling, cirrhosis?
I had fatty liver diagnosed 2 years ago.
1 month ago, I had an ultrasound of liver and spleen which was totally normal.
Yesterday, I had another ultrasound with doppler of liver and spleen which was normal, normal hepatic flows, normal blood flows from the liver, from portal vein.
Today, i woke up and saw that the outside of my left hand is swollen (right one is okay) as you will see in the attached picture.
could this be due to cirrhosis of liver?
Hi there just-me
Cirrhosis of the liver will NOT cause 1 hand to swell. This is not a symptom of Cirrhosis.
Should you be worried, you should call your Dr.
A few years ago I had the same thing happen and as it turns out it was a bite
from a spider. You can put ice on it to keep the swelling down, but if it continues see a Doc.
Take care
