1288586 tn?1271904161 the other day my friend noticed dried blood behind my right ear. not sure if i nicked my skin or something, i don't remember doing it. but now it has swollen up and hurts a lot on and around the lump and i am having pain in my ear canal also. the lump is a little bigger then a pea. i can't see it, since it's along the bone behind my ear, so my fiance had a look at it and says it's red and looks infected.
Avatar m tn Sorry I am so-oo late to your question. Are still monitoring this site? If so I'll do some research to see what I can find for you. I haven't heard of the lump appearing any where but behind the knee - but again I'll do some research for you if you're still here. Any new info?
Avatar m tn Hi, I've had this tiny little lump behind my knee, maybe half the size of a dime, for quite a few years. over the last few days however, it has ballooned up to about half the size of a ping pong ball. Just a little while ago, it seemed to pop, without any pain or anything, just found blood leaking down the back of my leg, along with a foul smelling pus. Any idea what this is?
Avatar f tn Then I felt it move down and disappear but then I had a horrible pain at the back of my leg just above my knee and now it really hurts behind my knee?

Avatar m tn s cyst is a pocket of fluid that forms a lump behind the knee. It is also called a popliteal cyst. See a picture of a Baker's cyst. Baker's cyst? A Baker's cyst is caused when excess joint fluid is pushed into one of the small sacs of tissue behind the knee. When this sac fills with fluid and bulges out, it is called a cyst. The excess fluid is usually caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis that irritate the knee. It may also be caused by an injury.
Avatar f tn She found a lump behind her knee doc thought it was a varicous vein and referred her to vascular clinic,she went on Monday and was told it was not a varicous vein and there was some fluid there.

Avatar f tn i m having a lump behind my right ear since 14 months.in the starting it never hurts,but recently its getting bigger and painful as well.
Avatar n tn =P About 2 months ago, i found a lump in my left breast, behind my nipple, which is painless but quite hard. I left it to see if it would go but it didn't. So today i finally plucked up the courage to go to my GP and get it checked out! Im only 18 so finding this was extremely worrying. The doc was extremely re-assuring but as some as you may know, you still can't help but worry yourself sick!
Avatar f tn This is a fluid-filled lump at the back of the knee. This is caused by fluid built up under pressure within the knee cavity in response to an inflammatory problem within the knee. Another condition that can cause popliteal pain is 'popliteus tendinitis'. This is probably what you have. This is an inflammation of the tendon of the popliteal muscle. It causes pain on deep squatting and on standing up.

Avatar m tn I have had pain behind my knee for almost a year now. I had a meniscal tear taken care of last June and I was told it would also take care of the ganglion cyst that had developed. 6 weeks after the surgery I was still having the pain and discomfort behind my knee. I experience increased tightness and pain with exercise....the more I use it the less I am able to do. Even walking causes discomfort. I am not able to pick up my foot and move it back as if trying to touch my butt with my foot.
393942 tn?1315560152 Since the surgery I have developed a hugh lump on the outside part of my knee and my whole leg swelled. My doc said that the only thing that will help all the swelling would be a compression stocking. The stocking helped from my knee down but did nothing from my knee up. The lump is still as big as ever. I saw him today and he said that the lump will go down in time. What I was wondering is if there is any way to know how long this would take?

Avatar f tn About 8 days ago she went to the doctor with strep-throat. Now today I noticed she has a lump behind her right ear, should I be concerned? I read it could just be her body fighting the infection. Should I get her to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on the lump for a few days? She is 8 years old.

Avatar m tn (Near my groin) The next day I noticed another lump further down on my leg. The day after, the lump lower down on my leg had gone but the lump in my groin stayed. This lump was very sore at first. Weeks went on & the pain went away. It was just a lump. decided to get it checked & I had the following checks: 1. Ultrasound to check what is - Confirmed an enlarged Lymph node. (2-3cm) 2. needle biopsy.

Avatar f tn So about three weeks ago I noticed that on my right knee I had a itchy red lump. I didn't really pay much attention but now it's way bigger, hot, and more red. The lump is hard and when I bend my knee its really noticeable. I didn't get bite by a bug or get hurt, so if any of you can help me I would really appreciate it.
