hi.
noted history of sudden hand stiffness. did it resolve spontaneously? are there recent event of trauma or strenuous activity? it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may be a muscular strain. other conditions, such as electrolyte imbalance (specifically hypocalcemia) must also be ruled-out. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
