Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am dr XXXXXXX and I will try my level best to help you.

Based on the information it seem like you are more likely to have an Osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. This is followed by chronic inflammation of the joint lining. Healthy cartilage is a cushion between the bones in a joint. People with osteoarthritis usually have joint pain and limited movement of the affected joint.

Treatment to it is need to take "Acetaminophen " or "ibuprofen" (over the counter pain killer) in case of pain.

May need Corticosteroid injection in the joint it its too stiff.

Please feel free to contact me in case of any concerns.

Thanks for the query.
Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
