HI Thank for choosing HCM I appreciate your concern, the pain that you are having could be due to falling and this may not be arthritis, in my opinion this can be best treated with the following medicines, nothing to worry about this. Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg three times in day if the symptoms does not improved then clinical examination and investigation may be needed, take care.
