Hi,
It may not be related to Azoran. Most probably it could be an early sign of arthritis. As a first step you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
