What Causes Pain And Swelling On The Hand?

Hi I have been on humira for crhons disease for two years and last week I started having this pain in my right hand. It s like a line of pain that runs from my index finger to my wrist. Today I noticed my hand was swelled up and I don t get why. I haven t had any type of trauma to my hand it was just all of a sudden. Any insight would be great, thank you.
