Is this common or is it just another symptom of aging? :closed:
I understand swollen fingers can be a sign of dehydration - its sometimes easy to get dehydrated in winter conditions 'cos you feel less inclined to drink enough, compared to a hot summer day?
Ultra runners get this I understand - my partner gets it after just an hour or two; the reason behind it is debated but probably multi-factorial with centrifugal force from arm swinging, constricting clothing/back pack straps, overhydration, and increased blood flow all playing their part. I doubt 3,000 ft of elevation is relevant.
But it only seems to happen to me when i'm above 3,000 ft Mike? :confused:Quote:

I wouldn't try and view this rationally Penguin. This is Danbert we are talking about.
I suspect it's Roland's doing.
