can too much exercise cause swelling of my fingers?

Question:

As im trying to loose weight and get fitter, ive been doing a lot of exercise, such as rowing machine, pilates and cardio, and i do strengh training exercises every night. My fingers, especially my thumb have recently been swelling a bit and sometimes i cannot bend them fully and it can be a little painful, it doesnt happen every day though but still regulary. I am thinking of seeing a doctor but wonder if anyone knows if it could be caused from my exercising. thanks.

Answers:
Absolutely. The hands can swell from any number of causes . bruising from gripping the handles of tools or exercise equipment, dietary changes, allergic reactions, medications and supplements . When I started exercising, I found that my rings would alternately become very loose or too tight to remove, depending on the time of day.
It turned out I was allergic to my own sweat!
Unless the swelling becomes extreme, a wash in warm water after exercising may help.
If not, then by all means see a doctor. But try washing first.

drink more water to flush out the toxins you are retaining. are you taking any vitamins? Of coarse you can get swelling, from exercise, especially in excess. Your muscles, tear or rip when exercising Thus the term "Ripped". When you are resting is gives the muscles, tendons etc. time to heal. That's why you should stretch out before and after any workout.
Exception: You may have arthritic symptoms and should consult a physician.

depends on what type of exercises you are doing to get swollen fingers!
