OK when the ask about shoe size changes and ring size- it is more for bone enlargement than it is for tissue swelling. If you notice that your knuckle size has changed, and or your feet width, then you definately should be concerned and get it checked out- People with acromegaly will develope wide feet and large knuckles- the hands will look 'squat' after time and there are other feature changes as well that can happen like forhead brow jutting out, jawline squaring up, nose flattening out and becommeing larger, as well as soft tissue enlargement & organ enlargement which can be very dangerous. Also- if you've had any skin tags develop recently- definately go get checked for acromegaly- get your IGF-1 levels checked- just to be sure. It's a 3 hour test- they give you a really sweet drink & then check yuour blood every hour- no big deal really- just time consuming.
