Hi Amy

I don't usually get swelling, only occasionally with severe flares my toes can look slightly swollen and sometimes my knuckles can swell slightly

Hi Amy - my feet pretty much always swell when flaring - particularly if they are in the dependent position. My right is worse than my left. Once my feet cool down, the swelling disappears too.

I am always at least slightly swollen. In a bad flare, I swell a lot and need to take off jewelry and shoes immediately. I always have pitting edema in my legs, feet and often in my arms and hands. I’ve also had it on my face. Before I figured out what was wrong, there were times when my face was swollen to the point of not looking like me at all.
