Earlier today I noticed that my rings were quite loose but now I have had trouble taking one of them off - why have my fingers suddenly become fatter?

You might be putting on weight?
too much water

not enough ethanol.
Water retention? It happens to me occasionally and it used to happen quite extremely to mr mac when he was on dialysis. Before a session his ring would be cutting in to him then afterwards it would fall off.

Hi cas - I have actually been worried that I have become too scrawny (I was poorly in September and lost weight and I havent put it back on). Just tried and can't get the ring over the joint in my finger (don't know the proper name for it).
Maybe you were hot, I always find if I put shoes on when my feet are cold they're looser than if my feet are warm?
looser ???????
My fingers swell ,but it's arthritic and can't get rings on because of knobbly finger joints .I would say water retention .Do you bite your nails ?
Yep lol! as in more loose; looser :oP

Hi Shaney star - more of a nail nibbler that biter.

Hi Anne - Christ, hope not!
Haha! Looser is acceptable! http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/loose
Just a thought really :) You can get an infection from nail biting .Hope it soon goes down .Keep an eye and go to the doctor if you are worried or it becomes inflamed .
sophie, i posted it. didnt look right.

I've had it before when I suddenly can't bend my fingers properly because they have become so fat - they looked like half a pound of sausages.
