Hello,

I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per my clinical experience, the issue sounds to be arthritis related or else immune response to underlying inflammation.
* As you are already on pain medicines and steroids, you have to wait till the reports turn out.

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