Hi, I have woken this morning with a golf ball size lump on the top of my left knee cap. I am a 50 year old woman with the general aches and pains from mild scoliosis, neck c5 and c6 damage, a hypo thyroid etc. my knee seemed to be fine yesterday only issue I had was feeling dizzy and a bit weird in my head as if I was coming down with a virus. Are you able to give me an idea what this could be. Regards Jill
