What Causes A Warm Lump On The Knee?
I have a lump the size of a marble on or close to my tibia on the inside of my leg 1/3 of the way down my shin after the knee. You cannot see it just feel it whe legs are crossed or slightly stretch in a seated position. It's a little warm to the touch, about the size of a marble--what is it--I exercise a good amount and have recently added lyrica cellebrex and fkexerell 2x daily. What is it probably.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump is most likely a varicose vein. As it is warm some inflammatory process can be present inside. However inflammation usually gives also redness and pain.
I suggest you to have Dopplers veins ultrasound of this limb. In case of veins insufficiency some surgery might be advisable.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
