Hello,

The changes narrated are suggestive of early case of degenerative joint disorder most likely. However, it is best recommended to provide your X-ray plates, details of symptoms at current time for best framing and co relation with the clinical perspectives to handle further.

* Time being approach for primary relief would be:
- Heating pad application 3 times a day, 5 minutes each
- Local capsaicin crem use
- Anti inflammatory medicine as ibuprofen with paracetamol
- Avoiding sudden jerking movements of legs
