Hello,
A knee lump can represent a joint deformity due to a chronic inflammatory condition such as arthritis. I see through the query that you have taken proper treatment. I suggest to follow the treatment as prescribed by your doctor. I also recommend physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
