What Causes Big Lump On Knee?

Hi, I have a lump about the size of an orange that comes up right above my right knee towards my inner thigh when I flex my leg. I was just wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? I've had terrible hip and lower back pain on the same side and my knee sometimes gives out when walking. Orthopaedically nothing is wrong with my hip.

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have Morant Baker's Cyst-which occurs with arthtritic knee effussion,which comes out behind through the weakness in popliteal fascia posteriorly in few cases like you got it.
Consult Er Ortho-Surgeon who would treat accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
