So I've been running three times a week for last few months but today my left hand blew up like a balloon , was sore the other evening , mildly irritation nothing is worry about.
This happen to anyone else ? Only thing that was different was my shoes (running shoes are in Amsterdam not here)

    Shoes made your hand to blew up? I don't see how that's possible. Probably nothing running related, well, at least not shoe related.

    That sounds either like an allergic reaction to something you touched, or you got bit by something. In other words, go see a doctor!

    Yeah, I'd say that sounds like an allergy or a histamine reaction to getting bitten or stung. I'd have a doctor check it out, especially if the swelling hasn't already gone down.

    Don't allergic reactions stick around a tad longer ?

    I got allergies and histamine reactions, tho in my case it's mostly in the face and underarms. It can take from a few days up to a few weeks before that's completely gone. I would see a doctor if I were you and maybe do an allergy test, because allergies can be something to worry about!
