Brief Answer:
You might have a joint infection, please note that you need it evaluated

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back to HCM: Please note that unilateral joint pain might be an infected joint or gout, either way they need to get a sample of that joint if it is infact inflamed, otherwise Ibuprofen and not Tylenol will help with the inflammation. Good luck.
