when I asked my doctor about it, he said things like that are often confused with arthritis but they are mainly the result of normal aging along with reduced activity after leading a life where you do a lot of strenuous work so your joints kinda get rusty from lack of use so they get stiff and painfull then add things like diabetes and other health related stuff as you get older and it can all combine to cause these minor irritants to become very painful immobilty. he said it shows up mostly in people after you retire because you stop doing all the things that keep it loose and flexible. he said it can be anything from a hand or elbow or shoulder or neck, to even knees and ankles that get that way.
its not all that doctory of an explanation but hes family and so he gave it to me in simpleton terms.
