Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the swelling. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged bursa, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta.
