Can be a ganglion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling at the joint that you have described can be a ganglion cyst and can be due to an inflammation. This can be properly diagnosed after a direct examination only. Do consult an orthopedician and get proper medicines prescribed. Can be treated without surgery also.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
