Have it evaluated.: Arthritis can be genetic or it can be due to gout, infection or chronic wear and tear. It can result in local areas of inflammation within the joint.

Could be many: This is more complex and needs to be evaluated by an Orthopedic doc or a rheumatologist- likely need X-rays and blood work to make sure you do not have a metabolic bone disorder- can also be related to statins
