Anyone experience swollen and sometimes painful hands with MDS

Has anyone with MDS experienced swollen and sometimes painful hands. Seems to be random and not connected to any specific activity. If you have what have you been able to do to relieve the symptoms and what have you been told as to the cause.

Hi- I have MDS & have not experienced hands swelling, but have experienced feet & ankles swelling. No pain. My Dr said it was most likely due to low albumin levels.
For some reason, it has resolved. Thank goodness!
Hope it does for you as well.
Hugs,
Diane

@lel2022, I hope you saw the helpful post from @drawlings0803. Have you and your doctor found any triggers for the swelling in the meantime?

I found the post interesting. I have been referred to a rheumatologist next month who may find some other connection to my mds. I’ll post any new developments.
