If it's a sore/injured joint, the pain will eventually heal and go away. If it's arthritis, it'll probably hurt pretty much off and on for good. If the pain is moderate to severe, please see a doctor for a definitive diagnosis. If you have arthritis, the doc can give you plenty of good suggestions on how to manage it. Ditto if you've got an injury of some sort. Good luck!

An injury will heal, arthritis doesn't. You will feel a dull ache or sometimes it will feel sharper. Mine acts up when the weather changes or if my joints get too cold. If I stay too long in one position I get stiff. One way to make sure is to have the area x-ray'd.
Good luck to you.
