    I just had the scope, debridement and synovectomy procedure done 4 weeks ago, very painful for past 3 plus weeks, but finally easing and swelling going down.  I had the same issue with fluid and no infection, they finally determined it was a rare condition called PVNS. Maybe your doctor should check for that.  I still dont know what I do for that but they did the scope and discovered it, and I am better than I was right before the scope, so I am feeling hopeful anyway,,,,, good luck
