Fingers swelling

Has anyone experienced swelling in their fingers?  I cannot put any of my rings on. Before tx I weighed 25lbs more, still in tx till next Nov. I would think with the weight loss, my rings should fit.
Thanks,

No bill, no med changes.  This started before I started treatment along with my lower legs and ankles.  Thought it eould go away when the pre treatment weight gain went away, nope.  All but fingers went down.

Do you take diuretics? If so, have you made any recent med changes?

My fingers swelled about a month into tx, but I had a rash on my hands that didn't itch.  I took benedryl and it went away in a few days.  It's hard to tell if you are having the same type of problem.  Sorry I can't help.  Maybe someone else can.  - Carol
