Joints are found in numerous parts of the body, including the arms, legs, hips, knees, feet and ankles. They sometimes become swollen, causing pain and discomfort. Swelling typically occurs when fluid accumulates in the soft tissues that cushion the joints.
The swelling may result from a chronic condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, or injury, such as a dislocation.3‘Rheumatoid Arthritis: Causes, Symptoms, Treatments,’ www.arthritis.org/diseases/rheumatoid-arthritis Swelling may also be associated with numb fingers.
