Default Small hands

Hi everyone
I just wanted to ask if having small hands (and feet) may be linked to PCOS?
I was diagnosed 10 years ago but was'nt sure if the 2 factors were connected? I also have a pad of fat at the top of my spine beneath my neck which my consultant seemed particulaly worried about, fortunately everything turned out ok.
The small hands still baffle me though!

I've always had small hands and feet despite the fact that they are quite dimpled due to my weight. I don't believe it has anything to do with PCOS.

The fat at the top of your spine that you're referring to is often called the buffalo hump. I have a very slight hump, but it still annoys me.


The following list are medical conditions that can cause the Buffalo Hump.
  • Cushing's disease
  • Long term use of steroids
  • Morbid obesity
  • AIDS medications
  • Kyphosis
  • Pituitary tumour
  • Hyperinsulinaemia
http://wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/buffalo_hump.htm

I've been tested for cushing's and it came back negative. I do have kyphosis in my neck but my chiropractor said it was a mild case, so I didn't really think that was causing it. I carry most of weight around my whole middle section like a big spare tire, so I'm doubtful that it's my weight that causes it. If I ever get down to a healthy weight and it goes away, I guess I'll know.

Nope, I wear a 10 wide in most shoes, sometimes a 10.5. My hands themselves (the palm) is average size, my fingers are slightly shorter than I think is proportionate.

How tall are you ladies? Shorter/smaller built people just have smaller feet.

I'm a hair over 5' 8".

I am 5'6" and weigh about 274. I have small feet (8 - 8.5) and small hands. I have to buy size small gloves, but the only type that really fit correctly are the cheapie ones you can get at walmart, like 2 for $1.00. I've always wondered about that.

The average woman wears a size eight shoe, so I wouldn't consider you to be "small' in that area.

Yeah it was Cushings that i was tested for and it came back negative.I see what you mean though, its really annoying no matter how much weight i lose its still there and prevents me from wearing tops that i want.
I just wondered about the hand thing because a few of my distant female relatives seem to suffer from fertility problems and they all have really small hands, so i wasn't sure if was connected. Thanks for the replies everyone.

My palm seems normal sized, but my fingers are short and stubby, so overall, my hand looks very small.

My feet are OK I think.. 6.5-7 and I'm 5'4"

Nope. I've got great big man hands, and my feet are massive. Size 11EEE (that's not screaming, btw, that's the width O.o). Try finding THAT in your average store.
