After years of tattooing I'm plagued with arthritis and carpal tunnel. I too get cramping swollen hands after a long session. Especially rockfishing. My wife usually has to massage my hands at night before bed. Anti-inflamatory pills like ibuprofen help but wreck your liver after prolonged use. I'm seriously considering cortisone shots in my hands soon.

As stated by others, hydrating is very important too. You might also want to try an Epson salt soak when it flares and see a doctor incase it isn't something so simple

Yes my I have arthritis in my right hand and I wake up every morning not being able to move it, especially if its cold. Im on arthritis medication and I take 2 doses daily. Yes it does mess my liver up and I have to get blood drawn every 2 mos. But nothing can stop me from fishing.

I get it from time to time. Not really swollen but red and tender and my skin peels on my fingers. Happens from paddling a lot. Gloves may help. Mine are pretty sore now.
