Gotten Swollen Knuckles With Pain, Diagnosed With A Small Lump On One Adrenal Gland . What Might Be Going On?

In the last three days I have gotten swollen knuckles (with pain) and the same in my knees. It is particularlly bad at night interupting sleep. I have done nothing out of my regular rutine to cause this. What might be going on here? Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with a small lump on one adrenal gland and I am worried this might be at the root of the problem.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling in the knuckles and the pan that you are having is not related to the swelling on the adrenal gland diagnosed earlier. The swollen knuckles are likely to be related to a mild joint inflammation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
