Deana,
My TM did not affect my hands, however, I would say that eventhough your
local emergency room might not "have a clue" in regards to a TM issue, I
believe that is your best response if doctors are otherwise not
available. It's possible it's a problem not related to his TM, and
swelling, heat and redness should not be ignored regardless of the
origin. Let us know how you make out.

Subject: [TMIC] Swollen Hands
My husband had an acute, idiopathic TM attack August 9th of 2007. He
has regained some use of right hand and arm, but the left one is
stubborn and today is swollen about 3 times normal size with
considerable heat and redness. Both doctors we might consult are gone,
and our rural emergency room won't have a clue. Can anyone help with a
suggestion? Also-in your experience, does working the hand too much or
not enough cause more swelling? Thanks for your help.
