Hi, unfortunately it could be arthritis, since inflamed joints are sensitive to touch. Some people find it useful to take apple cider vinegar to cure arthritis. You will have to change diet habits, learn technique to avoid painful movements and manage constant pain. There are many drugs used in treatment of arthritis like pain killers, corticosteroids, tumor necrosis factor –TNF antagonist, methotrexat. If this doesn’t provide relief try some alternative technique like acupuncture or homeopathy. Generally, it is an autoimmune disease and it’s trigger remains unknown, so no permanent cure is available.
