What Could Cause Swollen Forehand?

My left forehand is swollen for the last couple of years. this swlling increases and moves to the palm & fingers when i lift any weight or play/walk/run.. the swelling in the palm and fingers used to disappear after few days.. But, nowadays it is not disappearing. i have shown to several docotors earlier and advised for blood test etc.. but there was nothing positive in the blood tests. One of the plastic surgeon suggested to wear a custom made cloves/wrap for the entire left arm. But, when i started wearing there is no change in the swelling and some time the swelling increased. So,i discarded using them.. pls note both my hands broken during my childhood(5-6 yrs) but i use my hands as normal so far..(though they look slightly thin) what could be the reason for this swelling. sometimes it gives pain/ache to my entire left hand/side.

Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.

We have to rule out possible causes like vascular causes and compartment syndrome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
