Most people will have swelling at some time. When it is hot and you have stood or sat in the same position for a long time, you might notice swelling in your feet and ankles. Staying in one position for any length of time increases the risk that the lower legs, feet, or hands will swell because body fluid will normally move down a limb from the effects of gravity. Swelling can also be caused by heat-related problems, such as heat edema from working or being active in a hot environment.
Body fluid can collect in different tissue spaces of the body (localized) or can affect the whole body (generalized). Causes of localized swelling include:
Causes of generalized swelling include:
Any injury even without a chipped bone can cause swelling
what causes the left shoulder to swell
Putting the cell in a hypotonic solution makes it swell up.
Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
your nipples often swell up when you are cold, and often tickling them helps
When a bone in the body is broken the area surrounding the bone will swell. Swelling is the body's response to injury.
Blood vessels being ruptured. the blood fills the tissue and it swells.
Any injury even without a chipped bone can cause swelling
A chemical mediator is histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines that limit the amount of exduate (or stuff your body doesn't want) causing the muscle to swell after injury.
water retention and circulation. try laying down on your back and elevating your leg while you sleep at night.
I am sorry to hear about this. Has he had surgery on his brain? How long ago was the accident? usually when the brain starts to swell, that is not a good sign. Due to the swelling, there is restricted blood flow and parts of the brain will be starved of oxygen, and those areas will die. As you may know, when parts of the brain die, they are unrecoverable. Sometimes, surgery may be done to remove a section of the skull to allow the brain to swell outward instead of downward. If the brain swells and expands downward, then the brain may herniate, or exit through the hole in the bottom of the skull. If this happens, it is almost always deadly. The amount of swelling depends on the extent of injury, so it is not possible to know how much it will swell. It is possible that the brain will just swell a little and then return to normal size, again, there is no way to know. This is always a waiting game to see the extent of injury and the results of the injury. I wish your friend a speedy recovery.
Without knowing any more symptoms of the animal, it is hard to tell what caused her chest to swell up or why. It could be injury, abscess, or some other illness.
An ankle can swell and turn black and blue from a simple twisting injury, or a sprain injury. It doesn't need to cause a fracture to bruise or swell. And because the ankle is a fairly small area, the swelling can seem pretty drastic. If you fell, ask a Dr if you need an X-ray. If no break, elevate it, put ice on (10-15 minutes on, then off), keep it elevated, try to avoid weight-bearing, and if the dr agrees, you could wrap it with an Ace bandage. Make sure the Ace is not too tight. Wrap from toes UP around the ankle. Never wrap from ankle to toes, or your toes will swell. Ace works by helping fluid (in swelling) go upward to the heart.
