Brief Answer:
What are your present body weight and height?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

Degenerative bone disease would explain your pain as this is pain which generally gets worse with prolonged standing and strenuous activities.

This would be further aggravated if the body weight is too much for your height. I will better comment about this when I get the details about your weight and height. Yes, you are right, this is not a possible RA as this wouldn’t only get worse after standing for long.

Is this pain well controlled by the acetaminophen?

Hope to hear from you for more exchanges and helpful insights.
Awaiting...
