Hello. Probably there is deranged metabolism. Note when the pain is more. If more after rest or in the morning upon waking up, its probably inflamatory,l ike rheumatoid arthritis. If its severe at end of the day or after activities, its probably degenerative like osteoarthritis. Go to a nearby Ayurveda doctor for detailed evaluation and treatment plan. Ayurveda has promising results in such condition.
