What Causes Hard Bump Below Painful Knee?

Not likely to be blood clot.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The bump below your knee is likely to be related to a tendon swelling or an inflammation of the bursae around the knee. This is usually related to the inflammation around the tendon or its sheath causing the pain. This is not likely to be blood clot.
I would recommend you get it examined by your doctor and get relevant investigations done ( X-ray or ultrasound ) to confirm the diagnosis . The treatment will depend on the diagnosis and is mostly rest , antiinflammatory analgesics and physiotherapy .
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
