May be arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an important cause of morning stiffness and joint swelling and pain. If you have a family history of this, you are more likely to get it. If you are otherwise healthy, you can try taking Aleve (naproxen) or motrin, though Aleve (naproxen) is safer for your heart. You also ought to be tested, because if you have this, you can benefit from meds that change the course of the disease. See your doc.
