General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to arthritis.

I recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel.

Heat compresses can also be very helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
