What Does A Large Circular Bulge On The Knee Indicate?

I am 59 male with a large circular bulge on the lower inside of my knee, approx. 1.5 around and protruding 1 . Did not hurt at first unless pushed hard but now having constant pain and another smaller bulge is starting about an inch above it. My general practitioner did not seem alarmed when I showed it to her a month ago but it is much larger and more painful now. Any idea what is causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should have MRI knee which clearly tells what is it and where it located exactly. I think it could be backers cyst and consult surgeon for further Rx.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
