Brief Answer:
Most probably inflammatory joint disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. In my opinion you are suffering from "Inflammatory joint disease".I would suggest you to visit hospital and set an appointment for a Rheumatologist(In particular). He will examine the joint and may perform some investigations like RA factor, C-Reactive protein assay to confirm the diagnosis. Further management will depend upon the results. Meanwhile following measures may give temporary relief:
- ibuprofen thrice a day for 3 days
- take hot water in a rubber bottle and place it over the joint. IT will give soothing effect.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
