The condition is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved. The joint usually swells due to synovial fluid collection. Joint pain is due to the inflammation of a synovial membrane, which is usually painful, particularly on motion and is characterized by fluctuating swelling, due to the an escape of fluid in the synovial sac.
