Brief Answer:
seems to be arthritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
it seems to be rheumatoid arthritis, but this is not a classical picture. I would like you to go for some test like ESR, CRP and Rheumatoid factor.
you need to see a rheumatologist who can clinically examine and make the diagnosis.
Meanwhile paracetamol can be taken for pain killer
hope this will help

However I forgot to mention that she was diagnosed with anemia before and she doesn't take any medication for it at the moment, could it due to anemia ?
And I made mistake in her weight she ways 43 kg she lost 10kg in the last 2 months . Can the weight loss, Anemia and these symptoms be related ?

Brief Answer:
not related
Detailed Answer:
Hi
anemia is not directly related to arthritis but arthritis can cause mild anemia.
But yes, weight loss may be due to any chronic disease including arthritis..
