What Causes Painful Swelling In The Right Hand?
My top of my right hand is very swollen and very painful. (The palm looks completely normal.) The knuckles on my right hand are twice as large as the knuckles on my left hand. I do not see any bruising or bite marks. It is extremely painful to extend my fingers or clench my fist.

i understood your problem what you are facing.. look swelling on your knuckle could be result of trauma if there is no history of same episode in past.. in this situation you should go to radiologist and take an x ray of hand in anterio-posterior and oblique view... if there is history of similar episode then this could be due to of arthritis, here you have to consult specialist physician..
