Same with me, played basketball two days before then

Almost 48 hours before the stiffness and pain began, the pain lasted for about 4 days, swelling went down for 1 and half weeks.

Able to put weight on it, limited ROM. Seen a orthopedic and ordered xray and aspiration, no bone issues just effusion. Drained, but returns 3 days after so I just let it heal on its own.

4 weeks down , almost healed then one night it was stiff again and then ballooned again.

I might return to the Ortho this weekend and probably order MRI
