Fat Fingers

[skyplus]

Am too embarrassed to go to a medic. My fingers are very fat. I feel like sitting on my hands all the time. Is there anything I can do?

[ummmm]

Why is that embarrassing?

Have they always been like this?

[Patsy33]

Have you arthritis or circulation problem?

[mumscuppa]

Do they feel swollen with fluid?

I understand that just talking to a friend can help one cope with obsessions and suchlike.

Hello. Sometimes we are too aware of our bodies, and what will appear normal to one person will really distress someone else. Without knowing you it's difficult to say, but perhaps you are thinking too much about this, and other people would not think your fingers were out of the ordinary at all. If you went to your GP I'm sure they could reassure you and perhaps help to reduce your worries.

My friend told me today she was really embarrassed about the early arthritis in her fingers-she showed me and I could see nothing.
