Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to osteoarthritis I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to use cold compresses for local application.
Physiotherapy can also be helpful in relieving the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
