Hello @jackiepmr, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @mark2471 and others. I thought I would share a research article on RS3PE syndrome that has a few pictures of swollen hands in case you would like to know more about the condition:
-- Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome: A case report
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210833511000025
I agree with @mark2471 about talking with your doctor or rheumatologist. Have you had a chance to discuss the pain and swelling in the hands with your doctor?

@johnbishop I do have the pain in my hands, difficulty making a fist. But I do NOT have RS3PE, according to the doctor; not the swelling, not the pitting and not the inflammation of the joints. Probably it is my muscles. When I do hand-exercices during the day it gets a lot better. I only take a NSAID
