Ask your doctor : Ask your doctor what the synovial fluid results showed. Possibilities include infection or inflammatory fluid related to arthritis like gout or pseudo gout or trauma? May need to look for crystals. If you have no pain, fever, tenderness, and can walk then that is reassuring but need to figure out why the fluid keeps reaccumulating.
