Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it could be due to lupus arthritis.To pinpoint the diagnosis, complete physical examination and investigations like complete blood counts, ESR, RA factor, CRP, serum uric acid, serum creatinine, X-ray and MRI joints from a rheumatologist are needed.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
