What Causes Movable Lump In Knee?
Hi,
I have in the knee area a lump but it moves and doesn't seem to be on my knee but on my skin. At first I thought it was a cyst. It didn't hurt until last week when it got swollen, red and very painful. Now after 1 week it's better but still reddish. I am waiting to get a magnetic renosance to check if it has something to do with my veins. What do you think??? Please help
Thanks in advance for any responses

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, MRI is the best investigation but a good clinical examination by a Surgeon is the better way to get a proper diagnosis.
Get a course of an antibiotic if it is still red.
Most probably this is just a boil...
