Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are feeling pulsation on right side of your left knee. If you clearly feel pulse then it is hemangioma. You need to get its MRI done to diagnose and visit orthopedic surgeon for it. You have no pain so medicines are required. Generally it is not dangerous. Is there swelling also? If there is swelling also then it can be a bone tumor. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
