Answers (2)
This is no age for a swollen SC joint - if it is swollen it is probably some pathology. It could be an infection, or worst case - a tumour
Next Steps
Should consult - urgency is advised
Will require Imaging and blood investigations, and might require a needle biopsy if something suspicious
