Yes, you do have the correct symptoms...
If you do it right and visit the correct specialists/doctors, they have many options available for you. They will also do some blood test(s).
Advances in medicine and technology have made sure that when Arthritis is diagnosed as early as yours, the doctors can prescribe cortico steroids, and or surgical intevention, along with pain relief.
There are surgical procedures that can rebuild or replace the damaged cartilages. Arthritis pain I believe, happens due to contact between bones, when there is little or no soft cartilages to ease friction/shock.
Do visit a doctor immediately and ask about all your options. Do remember to get more than one opinion.
I don't know where you are located, but, the fact is that the US has some of the finest orthopedic surgeons and practices.
India has some fantastic ortho surgeons too, and at a fraction of the cost.
Do take care, and don't please ignore your problem.

Yes, you do, so do I. I take tylenol for arthritis, it works so well I can do anything all day with just 2 tablets, no prescription needed.
