See doctor: Many possibilities from tendon problem to pinched nerve to arthritis so need to examine to make the diagnosis and may need tests such as bloods and xrays to make the diagnosis

More info needed: Can't diagnosis without more information + an examination. Assuming you haven't had an injury, hand swelling may be from something like arthritis which would cause the joints to swell. More common in women and usually people older than 25 but does occasionally affect young men. Best to see your GP. https://www.arthritis.org.nz/information/forms-of-arthritis/rheumatoid-arthritis/
