Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

This can be the start of arthritis you are having, i would suggest you to visit your rheumatologist he might want to run some tests to diagnose your condition so that medication can be started accordingly.Till then i would suggest you to take tablet Tylenol for inflammation and pain later the doctor can change your medication according to the diagnosis.

I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
