See a doctor, preferably a rheumatologist. Being skinny is not an explanation for joint pain. In the meantime, you may take acetaminophen/paracetamol for the pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. Wish you good health!

Tt sounds like Inflammation. Weather it is caused by Injury, Infection or Metabolic Disorders One needs to have it Examined, Imaged and appropriately treated. The sooner one sees the PCP the better.
