Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due arthritis. As it is affecting multiple joints better to go for blood tests to rule out systemic arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis. I would suggest to do blood routine investigation including ESR, C reactive protein, uric acid,blood sugar levels and RA factor. Taking over the counter NSAIDs like Ibuprofen will be helpful.
Thanks.
