Fitness band and hand swelling

gshifrin

I had a problem today where the back of my hand started feeling tender and there was fairly impressive swelling. I'm wondering if it may be because I had my MS Band on too tight?

I put an ice pack on it and switched the band to the other wrist loosely and that seems to have helped, though still mildly swollen.

Anyone else have this problem?

some bands have given users an allergic type reaction in the form of a skin abnormality. do a quick google search of your device to see if others have had similar issues.

Thanks, I've been wearing the band continuously since October so probably not an allergic reaction to it. Maybe to something else though.

After a night's sleep the swelling is mostly down. Still tender though.
