An aunt of mine was experiencing swollen angles (and sometimes  
tingling or numbness in the fingers of her hands) ..usually  
after coming back from shopping. That was over 15 years ago.

For a long time, she blamed it on the plastic smells from the  
department stores.

Her strategy was just to sleep it off.

Turns out she had a blocked (or rather, ALMOST completely  
blocked) carotid artery.

She was a steady smoker for decades. She tried the Dr- 
recommendation to quit smoking, but she could not. She  
gradually went back to smoking.  She also continued to eat the  
things that are not necessarily healthy either: sugar,  
processed food, tonnes of mayo, breads, etc..

She has a reoccurrence of the swelling, but she thinks it's not  
as bad as before - meanwhile she is practically housebound as  
arthritis has ravaged her body and she's in constant pain. She  
still smokes and eats somewhat poorly.

In your case, why not try to eat the foods that help minimize  
inflammations?  There's a lot of info about that online. A good  
book with anti-inflammatory recipes is this one:
