Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful lumps on knees. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like infection , bakers cyst , sebaceous cyst , varicose vein , haematoma or lymphadenopathy. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , keep your leg elevated , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon , who may order CT scan or MRI of knee along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory or may recommend surgical excision of cyst . Doctor may also drain the hematoma .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
