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?

I HAVE A BURNING BEHIND MY KNEE WHAT COULD THIS BE.

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. i also have a lump on the left side of my pelvis, which is also red and sore and my fiance says its starting to go purple.

For the past few days i've had pain that comes and goes behind my knee area. It will sometimes travel into the back of my thigh or in my calf.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and they did an ultrasound to check for blood clots and they didn't find any.

If i am walking for more than 10-15minutes, i begin to get an aching pain with in my knee behind my patella.

You don't have any of these symptoms which signify you are not having advanced stage of disease. You don't have hip pain or knee pain that rules out any nerve involvement. I think it might be due to result of a collateral ligament or meniscus problem (or both) until proven otherwise. I recommend you to see an orthopaedician at earliest and get imaging studies done for further evaluation. X-rays study including AP weight-bearing, AP in 45° extension, lateral, and sunrise views.

However, the veins behind that knee are all of a sudden getting really dark.The lump is hard to the touch. I also have a small lump in my right buttocks. It has been there for about 2 months, this one is smaller than the one on my thing and not painful, but my doctor has referred me to see a surgeon about the lumps. but it is going to be about another month before I even meet with the surgeon. I am VERY worried... The lumps have not changed at all and the pain is getting worse.

Hi, I'm having dull ache behind the left testis, pain in left leg, and sometimes in left lower abdomen. I'm having this pain for almost 1.5 months now. I get this pain only when I sit. It doesn't hurt me while standing, walking or running. I visited the urologist couple of times. He did physical examination, and 2 times urine tests came out normal. All my STD reports are also negative and normal. - There is no physical change, no lumps in my testis or penis.

active and up until now, in good health I've never had a problem with my knees, but a week ago I was laying across the bed and a severe pain struck me behind the knee cap. I was in tears instantly. It is a constant pain... varying from a dull ache and amping up to a crescendo of high pitch... There is no pattern to it... walking or laying down makes no difference. There is no position where there is relief.

I have the same thing, electric like pain behind my right knee so severe that I often scream. I have had it for almost 9 months, in attacks lasting a minute or less, which now come 8 to 10 times a day. I have treated it with chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, yoga, and a bit of traditional medicine. I have managed to change the pain, but not to beat it. And I don't know what causes it. For me, acupuncture helped to define exactly where the pain is.

I would be anything from schoolwork, to internet browsing, to watching tv, to eating, to even just laying down in the dark and I would get these intense sharp pains on the back of my head behind my right ear. This pain only occurs in this location and it comes and goes. At first the pains were simply a nuesance as they would come and go and weren't that bad, but lately they're getting worse causing me to stop what I'm doing until they go away.

About 3 yrs ago I did have problem with what felt like a painful tightness behind the same knee, which became quite uncomfortable when going down on my haunches. It now seems to have moved to the ouside of the knee as described. The pain is not unbearable yet but is becoming more uncomfortable with time. I played a huge amount of squash when I was younger but not for the past 12 years. May have something to do with the problem. Would be most grateful for your input.

My 14 yr old poodle has a lump on her knee. I took her to the vet and I was told that it was a tumor. On March 15, 2012 when I took her it was as big as a golf ball, and since them it has grown as big as a baseball. Her vet informed me since she is so old he did not feel confident to do the surgery to remove it. She shows no symptoms of pain but she does look very uncomfortable. People tell me I should put her to sleep, but I am not ready and I don.t think she is either.

I also have swelling of lymph nodes under my right arm, on the right side of my neck, and behind my knees, but the one in my shoulder bothers me because Im scared of what it could be.

5 days ago, 2 of them started flaring up, getting larger and painful. Yesterday I woke up and have a painful lump under my left armpit. I know I have a raging infection, but have to wait till Monday to get an appointment with the breast surgeon. Because I've had these so frequently, I'm not freaking out, just wanted to add my story.
