Hi,Welcome to the HCM
Brief..It could be Arthritis.
Detail..As typiod can cause arthritis too ,but since it has been years, so it coud be autoimmune cause of joint pain too.For pain you may use non steroidal anti inflammatory pain killer like tab. ibuprofen .But my opinion would be get checked thoroughly by a rheumatologist to rule outnthe cause.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
