Can anyone help? When I stand still for a few minutes or walk anywhere my hands swell up. It is really uncomfortable, it feels like my hands itch. My ring gets really tight. Washing them with cold water makes it feel a little better, but the only thing that makes it go away is sitting down for a while.

Any ideas?

Yes I had the exact same condition in hands feet and knees. Its called angioedema or giant hives. Its a swelling of tissue deep under the skin. You are allegic to something and you need to see an allergist. The itching is really bad, thats why I am sure you have giant hives.
