You haven't mentioned your age & your work type. you seem to be suffering from Osteo arthritis.
Take a course of NSAID's like Tab pirox DT twice daily for a week & see,
if not relieved a dose of intra articular dose of Tricort will surely help you, the hardness you feel above joint is due to stiff knee & spasm.
