Brief Answer:
Seems post-viral syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This seems like a post-viral syndrome that usually happens after a flu. It usually clears up by itself but may take a few months in some cases. Symptomatic treatment like taking a tablet of combiflam as required (not more than 2 times a day) can be taken for relief of pain.

I suggest that you consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation.

Hope it helps.
