What can cause my mom's knuckles to swell, forearm muscles to tighten, as well as create numbness and pain on the hand?

Several things: This is a problem that requires a face-to-face meeting with his doctor. In that meeting, his doctor will listen to him, perform a throrough examination and possibly order labs or other tests. Based on this information, he/she will be able to tell him what's wrong and what to do about it.
