Possibilties: Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid conditions, thyroid disease come to mind. An infection such a tick-borne illness like Lyme disease are considerations. Response to an antibiotic like ciprofloxacin taken in the past. Overuse tendonopathy, etc. It's time to see a doc to receive a more thorough workup. Happy to help virtually or in-person.
