Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a osteoarthritis.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Baclofen three times day.
I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local application.
Cold compresses can also be very helpful.
If the symptoms continue you should see a rheumatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
