Hello,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of a condition called ganglion. Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. The ganglion cyst can be aspirated under local anaesthesia.
Nothing much to worry as it is a simple procedure and can be done easily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
