Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis.
I suggest to do some examinations such as rheumatoid factor level and ERS level.
Meanwhile you can use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
You can also use cold compresses for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
