Brief Answer:
Can be peptic ulcer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for asking query on HealthcareMagic,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns,
Very likely the pain may be due to the formation of ulcers in stomach or duodenum area.
Pain due to Gerd and gastritis usually responds well to antacids.
I would suggest you to go for an endoscopy test to see if there are ulcers in stomach or duodenum.

The swelling in hand is not related to it. You can use an anti inflammatory patch of diclofenac over it but don't take any anti inflammatory orally.
Follow up with reports of endoscopy.
Thanks.
