This sounds like a bursitis. A bursa is a fluid filled sac that cushions bony prominences. Sometimes it can become inflamed and swell. Anti-inflammatory medication can usually settle things down. Occasionally the bursa can become very red and angry which suggests a bacterial infection that requires antibiotic treatment.
