See below: This could be as simple as swelling in the joint, or could be a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome. The best course would be to lay off the joystick and keyboard for a while and see if the symptoms improve. If they do not consider talking to your doctor.

Pinched nerve: Likely related. Either caused by a pinched nerve in the arm or the neck. See your doctor for treatment to avoid permanent injury.
