Hello,
The symptoms are probably related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest doing some examinations to help through the diagnosis.
I suggest doing the rheumatoid factor level and also the ERS level. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Naproxen to relieve the inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
