How To Get Rid Of Growth On Tendon Above Knee Which Gets Caught Under Knee Cap?
For about two years now, I have had some type of growth on the tendon above my knee that gets caught under my kneecap whenever I squat down. I want to know what it might be, and how can I get rid of it? I haven t had it looked at or anything because I do not have money to go to the doctor.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This may not be growth, but could be a knee pain which is very common nowadays, you will have to go for x-ray study to get it confirm, but for sure this could be a arthritis of single joints which is more common in female patient and after the age of 40 years, you have not mentioned your age and gender, otherwise you would get the perfect advise, have nice day.
