It sounds like osteoarthritis. As you may know the main symptom associated with osteoarthritis is stiff and painful joints. Typically, stiffness is worse in the morning—lasting less than 30 minutes—and after resting: moving the joint for a few minutes can help shake off the stiffness often associated with osteoarthritis. Joint pain also may be severe after exercising and at the end of the day.
Another sign of osteoarthritis is the creaking or grinding sounds that occur when the affected joint is moved. Moreover, moving the joint through the full normal range of motion may not be possible.
In more advanced osteoarthritis, muscles may become weaker because of insufficient use. Joints also may appear swollen, mostly caused by new bony growths called osteophytes or, sometimes, by extra synovial fluid.
If you have more similar symptoms than you refered, I think it is osteoarthritis.
