Both my hands swell and my feet--Doctors don't seem to know what it is -this started after my heart attack a year and a half ago-- I was an artist but now can't hold a brush very long because it's so uncomfortable--One Dr. says it's dubuytren contracture another said carpal tunnel--or could be both. - One wanted to do surgery --I declined
