Has anyone else had this?

I'm not sure if what is happening is serious or just one of those mysterious things.

2 weeks ago I hit my hand on my car, not a hard hit. It did something to my vein, puffed up, bruised immediately and stayed swollen. It was a bit achy and tingly but soon was ok. I couldn't bend my fingers because of the swelling so my friend came round and she tried to manipulate it, she thinks a ligament moved the vein or something. She got it back into place by moving my knuckle. Then a few hours later it was fine.

So just before, I lifted a car seat and booster seat into my mum's car and I felt my hand tingling, this time my other hand seems to have the same thing - except it's the opposite hand and it's a vein in the middle of my hand!!!

My hand is a bit tingly, but other than that it feels fine, tender in the middle and it feels firm, not squishy like veins normally do.

So am I a freak?

It's not carpel tunnel syndrome is it? It messes with your hands and wrists. I get it when pg and have noticed after my last pg my wrists and hands seem to get tingly and are weaker than normally are.

I dunno I've never had it before! I sent my nurse friend a text, that's what she suggested too

Hi, sounds similar to something that happens to me sometimes. I can knock (or just move) a finger or my palm just gently and it will really hurt and a purple bit will come up under the skin straight away. Sort of like I have hit and bruised a vein or a ligament or something and it swells up and I can feel it tingling. But it always goes within about 10 minutes so I have not worried about it. It only started happening in the past few years.
I find it weird as if I really bang my hand or finger it does not happen and it seems to just be small movements that I have not even noticed that do it.

Nope never.... You're just a loveable freak face it

I'd say its still bruised/inflammed, even though it might niot be visible to the eye. Treat your sore hand carefully, and hopefully Nature will take care of the rest. xx

Yeah I get the purple bit - so it looks bruised?

Tegam - haha!!!! Love you too

Sunny - thanks - it was my opposite hand though lol
