Hello,
It is unlikely related to hepatitisC. Most probably it will be a arthritis joint effusion. Consult an orthopedic and he will direct you accordingly. Additional investigations like ESR, CRP and ultrasound scan are required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
