I am suffering the same way with hand pain(both hands) + swelling of joints. Am 51 , on Aspirin and 3 Hydroxy per day. My Haemo said it is not related to the condition or the medication...I was suffering with this prior to commencing Hydroxy. My GP suspects Carpul Syndrome and I am awaiting a nerve conduction test. There is a long wait for such a test in Ireland. If it is Carpul Syndrome, a minor op can sort it out.
Cheers for now
