What Causes Swelling In Hand And Forearm?
About 2 weeks ago my 88 year old mother noticed that her left hand
was swollen (no pain, not red, has no fever, just swollen) and a littlebit of her
forearm is swollen. She had a test for blood clots, test was negative, and her
veins were checked, etc., also negative. Any suggestions.

Swelling may be due to anemic conditions, generally you should take proper supplements, protein, B complex tablets and Syp Dexorange.
