hi Janet!
it will be good to consult a rheumatologist or orthopedics doctor to have a work up on joint disease.This requires blood tests for arthritis profile also and x rays or mri.till you get an appointment, you may try OTC pain meds like Tylenol, local anti inflammatory gels for application after hot fermentation..diagnosis will help decide specific treatment
best wishes,
thanks,
