Hello! Thank you for writing! I understand your concern. Usually the stiffness is typically in the morning and lasts minimum 1 hour. I think that the best thing is to do a consult with a rheumatologist. Sometimes it is used injection of kortikosteroid in the joints to relieve inflamation. But better consult a rheumatologist. Wish you good health and best regards.
