Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Considering your complaints, might be related to rheumatoid arthritis.
This is a type of arthritis that affects finger, toes joints and gradually other joints of the body and it is accompanied with difficulty moving these joints.
You should consult a rheumatologist, perform X-ray of joints, rheumatoid factor blood analysis.
Meanwhile, you can use Naproxen 1 tablet once daily, for pain relief and anti inflammatory effect.

Hope I have answered your query.
