Had total knee replacement 13 years ago. Yesterday morning I had very bad sudden pain on the side of one knee then a golf ball size lump appeared. I felt like it was bleeding but there was no blood. The lump is a little smaller today but more harder and I had a x-ray made this morning.
Possible to be developing an abscess in existing boil or sebaceous type lesion. Better insight can be possible with clinical examination or a photo picture evaluation of the lump as an attachment.
