Why do my hands and finger joints get red, hot, swollen, sore, and tight after using my hands for about 8 hrs? it is happening more and more lately.

Finger pain: Inflammation of joints or arthritis is one possibility, but simple overuse and sprain may be the cause. Arthritis symptoms would last longer and be accompanied by joint tenderness and morning stiffness may be present. If symptoms persist consult a rheumatologist for evaluation,advice and treatment. try to avoid activities that stress your hands. Anti-inflammatory meds like Advil help,if you can
