hard lump above knee

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.

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.

I have a hard (boney) bruised lump on the upper right part of my knee cap. It hurts to touch it and put pressure on it when I am walking. It is also swelled (kind of feels like there is fluid in it). I also feel grinding at the top of my knee when I move it and there it pops on the left side. Almost two weeks ago I fell and skinned the same knee pretty badly. The part that got skinned is healing nicely but I don't know what this lump is. Any ideas on what this could be?

hi, i found one small lump on my leg under the skin, i ran the day before so my leg was sore that's when i notice a small but very hard lump that you can defianly tell its a lump (between the knee and the foot).

i was taking a real close look and on the right side of my lower stomach is a lump. it was hard to tell but when i laid down and looked at it when i tensed my abs and relaxed them. i did the same thing standing up. i was able to pin point it and its right in the spot i remember feeling the sharp pain at. i cant believe i just noticed this. can my other hip pains be from nerves being aggravated? why would my right testicle be bothering me sometimes?

It hurts worse at night and causes pain with some activity. I have a hard lump just beside it that feels like a knob on my bone. I’ve had an MRI and an Ultrasound on the area and the doctors state they do not see anything on the scans. (I am seeing a military doctor overseas and they advised I get it looked at once I am back in the states, so maybe the scan was limited) Any advice or an idea as to what could be growing on my knee?

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.

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.

Lipomas may present as doughy lumps beneath the skin. The lump may slip beneath your palm when you palpate them. They are not painful nor are they hard. They may occur in other parts of the body as well. This seems benign. If suspicious looking moles are present on the body and if the lumps appear to grow hard or becomes irregular in shape, then seek follow up consult with your doctor.

Over past few yrs I have developed a tight uncomfortable pain on the outer right knee, just to the right of the kneecap. A hard bony lump has developed over time as well, in the painful area.

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.

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...

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.

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?
