These are not: normal findings and at your age it would be prudent to make a diagnosis and start treatment rather than risk significant progression over your anticipated life span. Make an appointment with your health care professional for an evaluation and blood testing.

Joint pain: Joint pain with morning stiffness can be due to rheumatoid arthritis. physical examination and blood test would be needed to confirm tge diagnosis.
