What Causes Constant Swelling In The Hands?

My hands keep swelling. I also have what feels like a swelling in the spine of my neck. I have had x-rays of my hands and the hand specialist says there is no arthritis showing. My hands swell during my sleep.The thumbs were really bad on both hands, and now my pinky on my left hand is starting to swell at night. Any thoughts?
