Brief Answer:
Probably rheumatoid arthritis, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I agree with your doctor that your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis.

In my daily practice, I suggest the following examinations to confirm the diagnosis :

A complete blood count

ERS and CRP blood level

Rheumatoid factor blood level

Meanwhile, I suggest you to use painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel.

I suggest to use cool compresses for relief.

After the examination I suggest to follow-up with a rheumatologist for a specific treatment.

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