Default Swelling in hands/clubbing of fingers?

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if any of you ever get swelling in your hands, especially after standing for a bit or walking for a bit...I used to only get this (this started years ago) after walking for a long time or standing for a long time....Now I wake up and have this, mainly in my right hand...It's really weird...It makes my hands feel really stiff...I've also noticed that the skin around my nails seems fleshier, again, only on my right hand...I looked up this weird symptom on the net, and found that it's called 'clubbing,' and seems to have really bad ramifications...Sometimes, the swelling will go down, but I have no idea what causes this change...

If I'm cleaning, or drawing/painting, or play my guitar, the swelling gets bad...I don't know if it's because my hand is in a downward position, or if it's from the use of it...I also wonder if it's because I have neck/chest weakness and maybe I'm pinching a nerve or something (I hope it's that :S)....Can anyone sorta relate to this?

Talk to you soon!
