With the limited information it could be arthritis, septic joint, or a tenosynovitis. Most likely some form of overuse injury vs wear and tear. Suggest seeing a gp so further history and physical can determine underlying cause. May need x ray, in the mean time try some conservative treatments( rest, ice, nsaids(if no hx of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, etc) otherwise Tylenol.
