Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis.
I suggest doing some examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
I recommend doing a complete blood count, rheumatoid factor level and PCR level.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
