Hi. My mother (54 y/o) had a brain stroke 4 months ago. I have noticed that her left hand which is weak side still have swelled fingers and have tiny bumps with white fluid in them. Why is this happening now and what should I do? I am cleaning her hand with antibacterial soap

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

Hand and arm swelling can occur after stroke, and it’s important to have the treating doctor review the affected part of the body, and provide treatment advice.

If you would like further information about treatment and recovery of swelling after stroke, click here to view the upper limb management factsheet, or here to read a similar EnableMe query.  

 

Please call StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 if you would like to talk further about stroke recovery.

Regards,

Kirsty
