I have studied your case and I can understand your anxiety. If your parents has these disorder and you are also having such symptoms I would suggest you to show it to rheumatologist and get few tests like ESR, CRP and RA factor. These test will clear any doubt about these disease.
Also I would recommend you to take calcium and vitamin D3 daily. If there is any pain than you can also take Brufen apply voletran ointment.
I hope this answers will be useful for you. Let me know of there is any other followup questions. Thanks.
