Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Pain and stiffness do not mean the same thing. While some stiffness can be painful, it's cause could be from positive things like a good work out, that something like a massage can sort out.
Some blood tests and/or scans may be in order for you to check for conditions that may be causing this stiffness, including Rheumatoid Arthritis. Please talk about this to your doctor.
Best,
Susan
