Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
as you describe, it appears to be the rheumatic arthritis, of course it usually occur in larger joints, rheumatoid arthritis, poly arthritis of chikangunya or sprain.
He may need to have M.R.I, R.A.factor, C.reactive protein etc for confirmation.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
