Hello and welcome to HCM,
Effusion in the joint needs to be resolved first.
The cause of effusion is formation of multiple cysts around the joint cavity.
Formation of cysts occurs secondary to inflammation.
Management of these multiple cysts is primarily conservative with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Physiotherapy is also likely to help in resolution of these cysts.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
