Dear Themba
If it is osteo-arthritis (normal wear and tear changes of the joints as we age), there are no specific causes, although spotsmen and women tend to suffer more because of the strain on the joints.
Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs like Voltaren, Brufen, Indocid etc should help fro this discomfort.
I agree that you should go back to your doctor if the pain persists for longer than a few weeks.
