Hello'
Thanks for visiting healthcaremagic.
Since your age is 68 years and no fever you may be suffering with osteoarthritis. Sometimes it may be due to Rheumatoid arthritis where mostly small joints during winter season affected with severe pain and swelling. You have to check your blood uric acid level also.
