Wow. I have the same exact problem as you. I can't stay in an air-conditioned room for too long or else my joints will swell, and it gets a bit painful to move. I'm not quite sure why that happens. Definitely check up with a doctor to see what the problem is-- I know I have to do the same as well sometime soon. I think it might be premature arthritis..

It sounds like rheumatoid arthritis to me. You should go consult a doctor for advice.

It can happen early when you are active. Take ibuprofen and do to the doctor. That is the only way to be sure it's nothing serious.

Do your hands turn colors like blue or white? Check out Raynauds syndrome. I think I spelled it right.
