Joint inflammation: The underlying problem when your hands feel stiff/sore is almost always joint inflammation; very rarely infection. The question is: Inflamed due to what? You are a little young for degenerative (wear and tear, aging) arthritis, but it can happen especially if use/have used your hands a lot. More serious are inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc. Need medical eval/testing
