After years of tattooing I'm plagued with arthritis and carpal tunnel. I too get cramping swollen hands after a long session. Especially rockfishing. My wife usually has to massage my hands at night before bed. Anti-inflamatory pills like ibuprofen help but wreck your liver after prolonged use. I'm seriously considering cortisone shots in my hands soon.
