How To Get Rid Of Lump Below The Knee?

Hi I have had a hard bony lump on side of leg just below knee area of left leg, the lump is not painful but i do get a cold like cramp pain feeling in the lower part of my leg. I had a CT Scan a couple of days ago, while there i was sent for xrays to confirm what the scan was showing, but i was not told what the outcome of this was, they told me a report would be sent to my doctor. I know its nothing serious but am curious of what it could be. thanks

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-hard bony lump on the sides of the leg below knee of left leg.Cramps in the lower leg and X-ray study after the CT scan study,indicates something boney osteophyte of the knee joint,causing the issues with the lump below knee.
This lump could be MB Cyst or could be Osteolcastoma of upper end Tibia / or could be osteophyte of the knee joint.
Arthroscopic removal of the MB Cyst or Osteotomy of the tibia with Bone graft would resolve the lump besides the knee.
CT and USG would fix the diaganostic ambiguity and doubts.
