why do my fingers feel tight?

Question: my fingers feel as if they are swollen and the skin feels tight.the most obvious cause would be athritis but ive had blood tests which have shown up negative.any ideas

Answers:
You could be retaining fluids. Cut down on salt and increase your water intake. Have you had your blood pressure taken recently? Retaining fluids can cause a minor increase in BP as well.

I don't think it is the gout as that is very painful.

Other Answers:
YOU HAVE GOUT . Drink Pineapple Juice, or Lemon Juice.

Stay away from rich meats, shell fish, and yes.. Drink water.
