Arthritis: You could be suffering from a certain type of arthritis, possibly rheumatoid arthritis. Evaluation by your primary care physician or rheumatologist would be beneficial.

Stiff feet: You may have osteoarthritis which is very common. If it gets to point that's severe nsaids would be needed.
