Hi,
Welcome to the HCM.
Joint pain and stiffning in the morning can happen because of arthritis..To rule out wether it is rheumatoid or systemic arthritis ,you may need some routine investigation and inflammatory markers tests .For example C.B.C,ESR,CRP and factor F.And may discuss further with the rheumatologist.For pain you may take NSAIDS (ibuprofen,naproxen) and start light exercise daily to decrease the stiffness.
Regards.
