Probably it is osteoarthritis. Please ask your doctor to rule out Rhematoid factor. Try to decrease your weight and pick up regular exercises. Local application of Liniments like Rumalaya will help . If you decrease your weight, more than 50% of your problems will get minimized. Best luck.

Hi,
Are you involved in any type of sports? or very active field job?
Did you have an injury or any sudden jerky move?
Is there swelling also?
You need investigation and consultation with orthopaedician.
