What Could Cause Swollen Painful Hands?
My sister is 37 and had DVT and a pulmonary embolism earlier this year. She s thin, exercises regularly and normally very healthy. Now, she s experiencing swollen, painful hands when just being outside in the cold walking from her car to her home. Can this be related?

Hello,
Thrombophlebitis is a possibility. Consult a physician and plan for a venous Doppler of the upper limb. Nothing much to worry and most cases respond well to conservative treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
