Its treatment is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief, Diacerine , hot fomentation and glucosamine.
Another possibility is gouty arthritis as it is most common at this joint. You can get uric acid level to confirm it. Treatment is analgesic such as ibuprofen and uric acid lowering drug such as fabuxostat.
