Swollen Arms and Hands (Oedema)
Swollen arms and hands (oedema) occur due to fluid accumulation in tissues, often from conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, or lymphatic issues. Symptoms include puffiness and reduced mobility. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve diuretics, compression garments, or dietary adjustments. Seek medical advice if oedema persists.
