What Causes Swelling In The Right Hand?

I ve been having swelling in mostly the right hand. Middle finger is the worst and seems to lock up in the morning. I also have pain in the joints right by my toes. I am having gripping problems and seem to have a hard time using my hand to open or unfasten things of late.

Hand swelling can be due to carpal tunnel syndrome.

You may need clinical examination and further investigation.

Use of machine can reduce your pain and swelling, you can ask your physio for wax bath therapy
