A member asked:
I have fluid i believe above my right knuckle its really soft and tender and i don't know why. what can be the cause its not that painful.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Inflammation of the joint from arthritis or infection. Should get it checked out by your doctor. An xray may be helpful and ultrasound is often useful to look for fluid, small erosions suggesting arthritis, and increased blood flow to the joint as a result of inflammation.
