Swollen Hands, especially at night... what can I do?

Question

I am about to move and have been packing my own stuff. During the day, my arms are in constant motion, I am working them like never before. As a result of the strenuous work, my hands swell up every night and I am in a lot of pain. What could be the cause and how can I get some relief?

Answer 1

try Aleve for the pain and at night when you go to bed wrap your hands in a heating pad. I don't know what causes this but I have the same problem and this seems to work for me.
