Hi,
The fact that you have throbbing pain when hanging your hands indicate that you have some edema of hand. Arthritis involve joints which are tender and swollen hands in your case can be another episode of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also advisable to check your serum uric acid levels.
Meanwhile, rest your hand, keep it elevated and use some analgesics like brufen.
all the best.
