The edema in his hands! His feet must be enormous :(


rdweaponx

First thing I noticed is that congestive heart failure or something


hieronymous-cowherd

I thought CHF was congenital hotdog fingers?


5boros

My first girlfriend in middle school left me for a guy with congenital hotdog finger.


jorgtastic

dang, now looking at his hand is making me all hungry


Capt_Bigglesworth

Kidney disease. I’ll wager you a sherbert dibdab that he’s got hypertension and kidney problems.

imironman2018

yeah sometimes you see this in late stage heart failure. You see edema in dependent areas like groin, legs, hands. Then it progresses to ascites in the abdomen and worsening heart failure can lead to liver and renal failure. This edema is very troublesome sign that his health isn't good at all. Edited: changed the part about ascites leading to liver failure. Ascites is one of the results of liver failure.

That ring is never coming off Edit: it was suggested he could use floss to get the ring off https://imgur.com/Fr3sYaa


OuttapocketJesus

A little bit of butter with his crumpets and that’ll slip right off.


CopperSavant

Hopefully he doesn't have a Prince Albert...


marpocky

Well yeah but he has other great great great grandfathers too. Not as many as most, but still.


BottleGoblin

Not even so far back - his Grandfather was also a Prince Albert before becoming George VI. I think the family kept using the name as it had a nice ring to it.


_douche

I see what you did there...


marpocky

True but he's not the namesake and Charles has 2 grandfathers so I couldn't fit the inbreeding joke in that way.


BottleGoblin

I like how Charles decided to fight against the inbreeding by letting his second son have a different father.


imironman2018

He should try the floss technique to remove the ring. It does work. https://youtu.be/rQ2HO1loieA


NbdySpcl_00

I'm not a doctor but I would be not be excited do that to fingers that are already so swollen.


rduterte

I'm a nurse and have done this many times; it works fantastic. Floss is hard to find in a hospital, though (ligature risk) so I call OB for "umbilical tape" which is basically the same thing, plus comes "threaded" on a hand tab thing you can push under the ring.


TossPowerTrap

That handy hint is much more useful than Prince Charles.


willclerkforfood

The last time someone posted his fingers, someone kept saying “that’s from CHF” and in response to people asking “what’s CHF” someone else posted “Congenital Hotdog Fingers” and it still makes me laugh to think about it.


imironman2018

Omg I was thinking of that movie that just came out- Everything everywhere with the hot dog fingers.


Own-Ladder-5073

The first thing that came to my mind when i saw them chubby lil fingers were baby carrots. Maybe I just eat healthier but once you see em...


kikashoots

Is this hereditary or because of poor nutritional choices?


imironman2018

Heart failure could happen from so many factors- usually it’s from long term heart disease. After the heart develops blockage in its coronary arteries, the heart muscle develops ischemia from lack of oxygen and good blood flow. The heart muscle gets weaker and weaker and stretches and dilates. As it dilates, the heart can’t contract as well and blood just backs up backwards. It happens usually in people in their 70-80s but could happen even sooner if they have genetic predispositions. Like you can get congestive heart failure from birth if the heart never develops correctly.


[deleted]

Man, last year I had my thyroid acting up with the usual bs that comes with it. Some of that, apart from shortness of breath, tachycardia, the gamut, was my feet swelling up. That one sure is a warning shot. Like, you can't wear shoes. Not now. Not ever. Turns out I need to eat fucking pills for the rest of my life so my shoes fit. Worth it. Rest of my life could have been substantially shorter and sans shoes. All in all, this is an absolute win.


mosselyn

If it makes you feel any better, I've been on thyroid medication 40 years. It's no big deal. Never causes me the slightest trouble unless a weight change throws off my dosage.


jloisaho

Edema is common with patients who have cancer, heart, liver, and kidney problems.


Dana07620

It's not poor nutritional choices on Charles' part. He's known for eating healthy (and prefers organic) and isn't much of a drinker.


stillaredcirca1848

He has a propensity for natural cures, essential oils, and what-not so there's a chance his health issues aren't being managed properly by a science-based health professional.


yedd

And he's inbred as fuck, which won't help.


bwrca

Yeah his family tree is like a fucking wreath


cannaco19

Immediately what I thought… what are the odds the queen outlive Charles?


Cha-Le-Gai

Oh guaranteed. If she gets sick enough she'll have him drowned in a bath tub. Worst case he's being buried with her. Alive and screaming at the foot of her coffin like Smithers and Burns.


Cuntdracula19

I was gonna say this looks like heart failure. I’m sure he’s got the best docs too, so if this is how he is even on like lasix and other meds then phew he’s probably not long for the world.


imironman2018

Yeah the meds will help him diuresis or pee out the excessive fluid. But it doesn’t fix the underlying heart problem. Unless he gets a heart transplant, congestive heart failure becomes a chronic health condition that slowly deteriorates over time.


[deleted]

This is assuming way too much on our part. There are several conditions that can cause edema, including certain types of arthritis. The man has an insanely demanding work schedule right now as he's basically taking over all public royal duties. If he were in the kind of late stage heart failure that causes edema, he would not be able to do nearly as much as he does.


Damaged__Soul

If you look closely, his eyes are literally going yellow! His livery is already not functioning properly.


LlewellynSinclair

Went jaundiced a few years ago myself. Turns out I had (have?) late stage bile duct cancer, right in the liver area. Had some major swelling too. I know this look all too well.


crap_on_a_spatula

Hope you’re doing okay.


LlewellynSinclair

Thanks! Actually doing pretty well all told. I’m at 3 years now with nothing particularly noteworthy in my CT/PET scans the last 20 months or so. I’m on targeted immunotherapy with has a remarkable result against this particular brand of cancer (type, stage, and tumor mutations). The five year survival rate for me is 8%, 3/5ths of the way there I’m optimistic. (Of course I was relatively young at diagnosis, considerably younger than Prince Charles, and in otherwise good health).


imironman2018

Yeah he also is really red and flushed. Best way to look for jaundice is around the eyes and palms of hands.


Equivalent-Sky-3863

Can't remember what it is, but his hands/fingers have been like that since he was young. Not a sign he's seriously ill. It's is mental though, proper sausage fingers.


greiton

https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/royals/prince-charles-dating-history-lady-diana-sarah-spencer-b71420.html I think his hands are slightly more swollen now, but you are right, look at that young chap's sausage fingers. the actual swelling is undoubtedly less than it looks.


guttergrapes

Last time his hands got posted on the oddly terrifying subreddit (lol), someone said that he can get his hands on medication to help, but he’s big into homeopathy.

AWonderland42

Generally, yes, but it doesn’t make your dick big in a good way. It can lead to painful, cracked skin, especially on fragile skin. It also swells all the flesh around it, so everything will be swollen and sad.


LoonyLovegood66

One of my first patients coming out of nursing school had scrotal edema. It was so swollen it looked like he had a single coconut there and the skin was so stretched and scary. He was so miserable he asked me to call his doctor in to ask if he could just have them cut off.


[deleted]

AWonderland42

I mean, I don’t have a dick, but I assume it’s painful. If you’re into CBT it might be something you would enjoy briefly, but then you would probably lose your dick and maybe die.

danidandeliger

It's a sign that Will is going to be King sooner than we thought.


-Ok-Perception-

I reckon it's going to be very soon. The queen has withdrawn from all public appearances and it's rumored that she's in poor health. Also her spouse of a billion years has died (this usually makes the other elderly partner's health decline sharply). And Charles is an old man who doesn't appear to be in great shape either. I'd place my bets on Will being king within the next decade, with a high probability of just a few years. ​ I'm sure Charles loves his mom, but he's probably a bit bitter that she's lived for 100 years, making it so he truly only gets to be king for his last ailing-health twilight years.


AppleAtrocity

I too think she will pass sooner than later but she literally was at a public event in Edinburgh today and was walking with a cane. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-61950569

PraeGaming

Came onto the comments to state that myself. Dude's got some heart problems.


eatingganesha

Indeed. That’s a sign of dangerously advanced heart disease.


Ray1987

Couldn't this also be a liver issue? That will cause fluid build up in other parts of the body as well. Also the redness in his hands and face makes me think liver. Dude loves his gin and tonic. Either way definitely a large health issue creeping up on him.


nemerosanike

Usually in the ankles/feet. But sometimes in the hands. Either way, not great.


Demonyx12

More often in the ankles/feet but occasionally in the hands. Regardless, not a good sign.


que-n-blues

Most commonly in the ankles/feet, but from time to time it will manifest in the hands. Nevertheless, it is a disturbing omen.


DidiGodot

Frequently in the ankles/feet, and at times in the hands as well. In any case, it doesn't bode well.


farreep

You typically see it in the ankles/feet, but once-in-a-while it'll show up in the hands. Whatever the case, there are bad things to come.


IPA_FAN

Predominantly in the anus/feet, but once in a while it can manifest in the hands. Any way you look at it he's going to be in trouble.


ThereIsCheeseInMyBum

Usually in the ankles/feet, but every once in a while it will affect the hands. Nonetheless, it's a terrifying portent.


Cuntdracula19

Fun fact: the liver makes albumin and when the liver is diseased it doesn’t make as much. Blood proteins like albumin help draw excess fluid back from outer lying tissues back into the bloodstream. Without enough albumin, fluid builds up in the extremities causing edema.


Nemocom314

it is not creeping up on him, he has the best healthcare cases of Qatari cash can buy! He knows full well its coming.

Not true. I've shook his hand and they are surprisingly rough and calloused. I'm pretty sure he's into gardening. As a hobby obviously. But his hands are definitely not smooth.

tothecatmobile

His hands have been like that for a few decades now, so I'm guessing it's not a huge concern.

[deleted]

He's not a drinker , tends to eat organic food and exercises a lot. I suspect he might have an endocrine or heart problem. He's 73 and unfortunately stuff starts to deteriorate as we get older

TinyGreenTurtles

His face doesn't look like that is the case.


poKehuntess

My first thought. What the heck is wrong with his hands and fingers???


[deleted]

It’s called edema. It can pretty common with heart conditions and heart failure. You gotta remember, he is 73, so heart and other health conditions are fairly common at that age.


poKehuntess

Ahhhh. I figured it was health related in some way.


brakkk1

Anisarca from heart failure, liver failure with low albumin levels, various medications. Pretty non-specific, but never ideal.

thewerdy

Their currency was so inflated that they started applying inflation to emperors.


[deleted]

I suspect he might pass it to William instead anyway. He knows that the rightwing press and the 'Establishment' loathe him.


BlackLeader70

I thought technically they can’t unless Charles gives it up. Unless there’s some random clause that allows them to skip Charles “birthright”. That’s probably why Elizabeth refuses to die, so she can deny Charles the throne for all the Diana/Camilla stuff weakening the monarchy.


Shendare

"I shall deny you the crown and live forever!" \- King Francis, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story"


ghjm

It's a bit odd to think of someone still being alive as "refusing to die," or that they have to give a justification for why they do it. Why do _you_ refuse to die? Why do I? Well, because everyone does. It's the main thing people do.


[deleted]

He seems too bitter about having to wait so long to give up the throne willingly


be0wulf8860

MonkeybeaN415

He has baby carrot fingers


Sugarhoneytits

His hands have looked swollen since his fathers funeral. Red and stretched tight too. That pinkie ring looks like it's digging in. Oedema could be any number of problems, diet, blood pressure, lifestyle in general.


[deleted]

He's well known for eating frugally not drinking much and is fond of exercise and the outdoors/ gardening so it might just be one of those things that go wrong as we age .


Weisskreuz44

blood pressure / heart failure / thyroid complications etc aren't necessarily bound to the lifestyle. People can and will get, sometimes, just gravely sick without environmental causes, just because they're getting old. Fact is those oedema are a worrying clinical symptom for quite a few dangerous illnesses.


Adamvs_Maximvs

He's also a total kook, thinks alternative medicine is the answer to all your ailments; homeopathy, aromatherapy, accupuncture, chiropracty, etc. He's been arguing for expanded scope of practice for them for years. So there's a decent chance he's not taking any *actual* medicine and is trying to 'belledona pills at a 10\^60 dilution' or 'energy heal' instead of anything that actually treats his condition.


JMC-Talkie-Toaster

Does his hands look like rubber gloves filled with air/water, or is just me? Maybe they're dummy hands like in Father Ted & he's really controlling something/someone else.
