Posted on Fri, 17 May 2019
Question: Hello. I am 31 yr old female and I sort of twisted my knee or felt a pop in my knee about 2 weeks ago...now I notice it feels a little tighter like it’s swollen but my husband and mom state that it does not look swollen to them at all...when I actually measure it, it measures the same as theotherleg... slightly achey at times when walking and sometimes feels an ache or pain/like cramp in that calf/leg area but not painful and looks like maybe a little purple in color(but I feel like these are spider veins)...can sort of fell a small dime size lump right below the skin like a fatty deposit or something...I will attach pictures so you can see, but just want to make sure this is nothing serious?! I take citalopram 20 mg daily, Vit B12 1000 mcg chewable daily or every other day, prenatal gummies, and sometimes excedrin (which I have taken pretty often like 1-2 tablets once daily with missing some days over the past 3 or 4 weeks or so)

Brief Answer:
Fine needle aspiration cytology

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking...

I do not think the small lump in your leg is anything serious.

However, you can do a fine needle aspiration test of the lump to rule out any pathology.

Appy warm heat pad in the area and take medicine combination of analgesic and anti-inflammatory as per your doctors advise...Yes, you may please upload/attach a picture of the lump so that I can review it...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
