Is There Any Way To Cure Lump In Knee?

I have a hard lump on the outside of my left kneecap-feels like its on a tendon and sometimes it gets stuck and I can t bend my knee until the lump pops into place. almost as if the lump gets in the way of normal tendon movement. also there are more hard but painless knots that seem to have grown on knee tendons and /or ligaments. what could they possibly be? anyway to improve and shrink these lesions without surgery?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of this knee lump, I would come up with two possibilities:

1. a partly dislocated patella !

2. synovial effusion, reactive synovitis, loose bodies, bursa or tendinitis etc.!

Well, this is a fairly common benign disease of the patella and knee joint !

I suggest you to go for an X-ray and FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Regarding treatment, physiotherapy and limited exercises are recommended under orthopedic supervision!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
