Hello there, I have a small pebble like bump on my left knee. It does not cause me any pain but I can move it around it feels really nasty and I don t know what it is. Should I get it checked out? Also, you can t see it with your eye, you can only feel it.

A knee lump can represent a joint deformity due to a chronic inflammatory condition such as arthritis or a deformity that arises following any kind of injury to the joint. Lumps due to local infectious causes may appear as boils or abscesses. Traumatic causes of knee lumps range from bug bites to severe injuries, such as fractures of bone, that can produce a localized collection of blood in the tissues (hematoma).
