Inflammation?: Suspect most of the pain is in the joints, but perhaps some soft tissue/muscle or attachment pain, too. The difficulty closing hands suggests swelling. Certainly the overuse of physical work can aggravate swelling. It is encouraging that he has had it before and it resolved, presumably on its own. Avoid aggravating activities, ice it, take OTC anti-inflammatories. See Doc if persists >2-3 weeks.
