Fingers swelling during walking
I walk around 3.4 miles a day, and my fingers swell when I walk even though I try to swing my arms high when I stride. Sometimes I even clench my fists on the upswing, but I can't keep it up for long, though it does seem to help some. Does anyone know what is going on and/or what I can do about it? Thanks
