I have a large lump on the left side of my right knee. It is about 2inch diameter. The lump is painless, only during physical activity does it sometimes bother me, and only very little. The lump showed up about 2 weeks ago. Just wondering if I should be concerned.
HI. Any lump associated with any of the joints should be investigated. This can be a bursitis, cyst related to the joint and so. A clinical examination and further investigations like MRI ill confirm the diagnosis. The confirmation will lead to a proper treatment. Till you get to see an Orthopedic Surgeon , you should give rest to the joint.
