Rest: You could have over worked your hands causing them to be sore and swollen. Rest can help and possibly otc anti-inflammatory medications. If this does not help you may need to go to the doctors to be evaluated and diagnosed.

Glucosamine/fish oil: Natural antiinflammatories help the whole body and fish oil is the best to use. Also look at foods with turmeric. Glucosamine is a good supplement to use for joint health but give it a couple of weeks of use before you look to notice a response.
