Brief Answer:
Can be gout or arthritis.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have can be due to raised uric acid levels in the body causing gout or it can be due to simple arthritis. You need to consult an orthopedician for an examination and gt blood uric acid levels evaluated. Taking mild pain killers and doing a hot compress will help till then.
I hope this answers your query.
