Muscle lump above knee

Common Questions and Answers about Muscle lump above knee

lump

Avatar f tn I am a 50 year old woman, I found a large lump that popped up suddenly on my right leg, just above and to the right of my knee. It is not painful. It is not soft like a lipoma. I am scheduled for an MRI but not a biopsy. According to all of the information that I have read about this, it is likely a malignancy. It is currently the size of a cherry tomato and when I am in a squatting position where the muscle is engaged, it protrudes.
Avatar m tn I was doing knees to feet jumps and pretty soon afterwards I noticed a soreness on the back of my leg right above the knee. When I inspected it I felt a lump. I tried doing some research and thought maybe it was a hematoma or something, but I'm not sure. There is discoloration where the lump is. The lump is still there and has been there for a couple weeks now. It is not that sore just feels hard and it does not bother me when I am moving my leg around.
Avatar m tn i have felt around when i was standing up and pressed on something slightly in the groin area causing the pain to become more severe for a whole night and i barely got sleep. would it be easier to see a lump if i tightened my muscle, were laying on my back, or standing up straight?
352007 tn?1372857881 m having a plethora of sensory issues, I take it that muscle fasciculation in my right leg just above the knee lasting 24 hours is probably not benign, although I would like to think so. Who else has it?
Avatar f tn I am an 18 year old female. About two months ago I located a lump in my left thigh that was on the muscle and moveable. It feels hard, yet rubbery. When I press on it, it feels like a bruise of a knot. I am very concerned about it. You cannot see it if my legs are straight, but when my leg is bent it I can feel and see it. It is smooth feeling and the lump is rounded. I have trouble sitting with my legs crossed as it tugs on my knee.

672923 tn?1225908365 I now have a rather large lump there that is rather painful, inside of my leg, side of knee. Is this something I should worry about?
1417063 tn?1282107664 t walk on it so my mother got washing soda in a pillow case and wrapped it around the knee overnight, in the morning the washing soda was a hard lump and my knee had this powdery stuff on the skin, but the knee was markedly smaller, after three days of this the doctors were able to operate, I thought it was my mother being weird - but it worked and several friends have now used the system on their swollen joints.
Avatar m tn Hello, the last few months, ive had pain above my knee cap, if i press on the muscle or tendor that seems to attach to the top of the knee cap, it is quite sore right where it connects to the knee cap, and when walking its ok, but stairs it really is sore, sitting down and getting up, kneeling. Ive tried applying heat to it, then stretching, then applying ice going for walks, stretching, seems to give temporary releif.
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 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 f tn The bigger moving lump may be your bursa. It WILL move. Does it hurt to kneel on your knee for more than a moment? You could have a cyst, a tumor (don't panic, often benign), gout. These all could also cause lumps in that area. https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/bones-joints-and-muscles/knee-lump I think that if it isn't causing you any discomfort, I'd schedule a physical for sometime in the future and mention it then.
9055708 tn?1401417581 I woke up may 24th with what i thought was muscle pain in my inner thigh just above my knee. I tried rubbing it out but a day later it flared up.

It hasnt gone away and Ive tried iceing it ive tried a shower. Also Ive been taking ibuprofen for the pain but it doesnt seem to be getting better. Im not sure what it could be.
1070781 tn?1255359735 I had knee surgery on 9/23/09 and i was wondering why i have two hard large bumps on my thigh just above my knee? Also my knee is so stiff... the more i do my exercises the more stiff it gets... I was wondering if this was normal after artho knee surgery? My knee gives out more now than before the surgery and now my knee wants to lock if i don't step just right.
Avatar f tn Other than this it can be a slipped prosthesis, a Baker’s cyst (cyst in popliteal fossa at the back of the knee caused by fluid built up under pressure within the knee cavity in response to an inflammatory problem within the knee), an abscess, a lipoma or a muscle tumor. Try and consult a doctor and get the basic investigations done like X-ray of the joint and if this does not reveal anything then a MRI of the joint. For all you know, the problem may not be related to the prosthesis.
Avatar n tn The muscle seemed ok. They told me they took out some of my muscle from my thigh to reconstruct my ligaments so I just thought it was fat damage because of that. Recently though, it's starting to bother me a little bit. It's not intense, it's kind of a dull pain every now and then. Should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn I am writing this in hopes that someone out there knows the answer to my "lump" in my leg. I played college level soccer for 5 years as a Goalie and strained/pulled my quad many many times but always played through it... I'd have rehab on it but nothing major felt wrong just never gave it time to heal. About 1 year later I began to train for a half marathon & begin playing again...
1523981 tn?1311318595 I am 4 1/2 months pregnant and I recently started having these muscles spasms a few days ago right above the knee. They never seem to go away and when I stand up they are week and it takes me awhil to stand up straight or they lock up and I can't seem to walk or move for a few seconds. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen or if anyone knows what I can do to make it a little bit better.
Avatar m tn Ok, so the end of last academic year, i had this bad pain that was right above the knee, not in the joint, but above it, but after a while it went away, and i was happy. A few weeks ago it came back, i went to the doctor, and he diagnosed it as a chronic muscle strain. They took x rays and stuff, and it all showed up perfect.They just today took x rays of my hips. The pain has not gone away, btw i was put on crutches and this leg brace thing that only lets me bend 90 degrees.
Avatar f tn I have on going pain in my right upper leg , above my knee. it shoots up into my hip. Its not my knee itself, there is a lump in my leg that is very painful. I had ocular melenoma 3 yrs ago, cancer runs in my family. should i be concerned?
Avatar n tn My leg fell through a step and my body went forward causing a large dent in my leg. The impact point is below the knee and above the ankle. I have had a lump in my leg for that long.. No pain... should I be worried?
Avatar f tn but i think it will show more on x ray if my knee was bent coz it feels like it hides when my knee is straight.. and sometimes i can also hear and feel like a snap, like a " tick" sound. I hope someone can explain to me what you think it is?? I would appreciate it... thanks for the time and I apologize with my grammar coz im an asian not so fluent in English lol.... I'll be waiting for you explanations, thank you...
Avatar m tn I'm a 16 year old male and I've had this soft lump around 1 inches or 2.5 cm wide right above my collar bone or around the "inferior belly of omohyoid muscle" for almost a year now. Don't think there have been any growth. when i look into the mirror, my right collar bone isn't as obvious as my left right side almost looks flat. but nothing pops up. when i press the lump, it is movable and soft , it does not hurt and i can fell my pulse beating under it.
Avatar f tn There is a long muscle above the knee Maybe you bruised or strained a muscle from lifting and the cold is not making it any better.
Avatar m tn 5 inches above my knee. The trama was severe enough that I could not stand for several minutes and then could only, barely, limp around. For the first several days, only the point of impact was painful. After about a week, the pain started spreading across both my anterior and posterior thigh muscles. My thigh was painful to the touch; simply brushing your hand along the skin would be quite painful as would applying pressure.
