Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. FORUM.
May be following reason.
1 Bursitis or tendinitis , inflammation may be the foremost reason . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by an orthopedic surgeon.However old injury may be the reason.
2 Rheumatoid arthritis may be the next reason . Diagnosis can be confirmed by R A factor examination.
3 Gouty arthritis may be the next reason . Blood examination for uric acid will find out or rule our the disease.
In my opinion consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion.
Good luck.
