📖What is Joint Swelling?

Joint swelling is a visible or palpable enlargement of a joint caused by excess fluid, inflammation, or bleeding within or around the joint space. It is often accompanied by warmth, redness, pain, and reduced range of motion. Swelling can affect a single joint, as with gout or injury, or multiple joints, as seen in inflammatory arthritis.
