Tongue Biopsy

A couple of days ago I had a tongue biopsy. I'm an anxious person, I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and I suffer with depression. I usually wear eight thin rings but, all my fingers are swollen. I used to wear all my rings daily but, my fingers are so swollen I can't. Does anyone else have this problem  ?

  • Hello Fruitsalad-and-blackjack-sweet

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had a tongue biopsy. I hope that you won't have to wait too long for your results. 

    I'm not sure why you have swollen fingers but if this doesn't improve then do make an appointment with your GP. 

    I hope that you get some reassurance about both things soon. 

    Best wishes,
