Brief Answer:
Probably bursitis
Detailed Answer:
hi
this looks like bursitis.
these are fluid filled sacs near joints for lubrication.
so sometimes due to overuse they may become inflamed.
they can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs physical therapy and sometimes require intra lesional injection.
it would be best to see an orthopedic surgeon or a rheumatologist.
