Hi just read about your mothers condition.you have said that all her joints are swollen so then if its the small joints of the hands with the other major joints you will need to check out for rheumatoid arthritis even though she is much older.swollen joints need elastic bandaging after pain cream applications.Cold packs may be applied if the swelling is recent.in case this has been going on for a while then the hand and feet can be immersed in warm salt water for a while.Excessive swelling means fluid collection which needs to be aspirated by a needle.apart from the regular pain killers she will need medications like celecoxib or meloxicam.
