Knuckle "cracking" is breaking a vacuum between the joints and is not known to cause anything but noise.
You are describing classic overuse syndrome from the constant position your forearms, wrists, and hands are in while typing.
An NSAID, such as Aleve (Naproxen) will do fine. Personally, I take the 800 mg tablets of Advil (ibuprofen) for my arthritis, and it is excellent for pain management and reduction of swelling and inflammation.
I believe both may be available in generic, for sure the ibuprofen is.
