General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Based on your age the symptoms can be related to osteoarthritis. I suggest doing the following examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

I suggest doing a cray of the joint for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day to relieve the pain. I also suggest cold compresses for local applications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
