Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The joint pain and swelling is likely to be due to degenerative changes in the joints or osteoarthritis. Regular pan killers, joint lubricant supplements and physiotherapy exercises are needed to reduce the symptoms. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
