Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. From the information you have provided, this seems to be a sylnovial cyst. Treatment for this condition is mainly surgical. However you would need to get a detailed examination and investigation to rule out any other diseases which could be promoting or aggravating this like rheumatoid arthritis.

For now, some pain medications lie Ibuprofen and Tylenol can hep relief the pains while you follow up to see your doctor.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more clarification or information if need be. I wish you well.
