Hello.  My fiance has sudden swelling in her hands, possibly an allergic reaction.  Not sure what caused it, she didn't eat or touch or do anything different.  The swelling is contained in her hands, but she began to feel lightheaded.

Hi Lynda,

The first thing I would do is fill large bowl with ice from your ice maker or from the 7-11 and put a little water in there. Then I would put the bad hand in there for 15 minutes every hour or so. Dump some water out in between.  Do this for 48 hours.  Then, I would have a fellow massage therapist work on the hand a little and ice after. I would rest the hand for a few days and see how it feels. Keep me posted.
