Avatar f tn I had both my knees replaced in 1999 & 2001. On my left knee just below the the prostisis is a lump. I am wondering if it is the bone or if it could be the prostetic. I have a lot of pain in both my knees. Also I had them replaced in Washington state. I now live in Missouri but can't find a doctor that will even look at them. they tell me I have to go back to the dr that replaced them. How do I find a dr. to help me out?
Avatar f tn Yesterday I was photographing a wedding and I kneeled down and as soon as my knee hit the ground I had a severe pain just below my knee. It felt like I was kneeling right on my bone and something was stabbing it. I got up and seemed okay. About 30 minutes later just below my knee started to throb and swell. I now have a lump about 2 inches below my knee cap and it is swollen and extremely painful. It is warm to touch and slightly red and bruised.

Avatar f tn (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?
Avatar m tn Went to the gym mon, tues wed to give avoid impact from running. On wed pm noticed a firm lump acrooan are of about1 inch just below the knee. This enlarged over night such that it protuded about 1/2 inch. No pain; not tender and felt like bone. Activity no bother unless I lunge or put sudden body wt pressure when again discomfort. I suspect I've caused some minor tssue damage and the swelling is fluid/blood but no bruisng as yet, Puzzled that it took 4 days before the lump appeared.
Avatar n tn It may have existed in some capacity for some time, but I just didn’t pay much notice of it. The feel or consistency is similar to a lump on my lower back; it is neither really soft nor hard, it feels like a small rubbery lump and you can push around with your fingers. I also have one on the side of left leg, about 10 inches up from the knee. This one is smaller, but harder. In addition, I also have two on my right leg, about six inches up from my knee.
Avatar f tn About three months ago, i got into a collision in soccer and smashed into another girl. Her knee slammed into my shin bone just below my knee. The pain was horrible but i figured it was just a bruise and it should be gone in a week. After about a week, my shin was still slightly discolored and i had started to loose feeling in the top layer of skin in that area. About a week after that, a huge lump had formed and it became extremely sensitive.
Avatar m tn 2 weeks ago I noticed a very small hard bump just below my left ankle. A couple days ago I noticed it had grown in size (almost tripled in size). The bump doesn't hurt but my ankle is tender in surrounding area. 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...
Avatar f tn around the area of the top of the Fibula (below and to the right of the knee. I seem to now have a lump there that is not painful but is noticeable when I bend my knee.....any ideas whether this hard bump is something I should worry about or is it just a result of the concussion to the area. As I said it does not sem to hurt or inhibit my activity in any way.....
Avatar f tn I've recently noticed a swelling in my neck 1" across and just below thyroid area. Been to docs who doesn't think it's thyriod as situated too low. She's taken bloods and referred me for a scan. Any ideas? It's hard, moves when I swallow. Apart from swelling, health is really good, no recent infections. I'm a 52 post-menopausal woman.
Avatar n tn It will be hard to tell exactly whether the lump on your outer thigh near the knee is benign or malignant. There are so many benign tumors of soft tissue origin. Examples of benign condition are lipoma and fibroma. Likewise, there are also many malignant tumors of soft tissue origin. In order to differentiate the two, there may be a need to do a biopsy. I agree with your decision to seek consult with your doctor. Take care.

Avatar m tn t want to scare you but I had a lump under my arm just below the armpit. My doctors assured me it was a lipoma. I wanted a biopsy after getting a ct scan was inconclusive. The surgeon said I should just remove it. To everyone's suprise it turned out to be lymphoma, non-hodkins. marginal zone lymphoma to be exact. I am told it is a slow growing form that can be treated fairly easily. If it was up to my doctors I would have done nothing about it. Its really up to you to be proactive.
Avatar n tn I have a small lump on my knee about the size of three pimples together and its been there for about a week now and i cant pop it, i was just wondering if it could be dangerous in any way?

1518151 tn?1320448947 My nine year old husky lab mix has a golf ball + sized lump on her foreleg just below knee. A biopsy was done two weeks ago with dx. of nerve sheath tumor. Vet recommends surgery to remove tumor, which may return in months to years. I don't want to cause any suffering as she has no symptoms at this point, but it did come up quite suddenly. Anybody with experience of this type of cancer? I am very fearful of surgery turning into amputation.

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 n tn For the past five days I have had a lump below my ear in the area where the jaw hinge is. It's smaller than a marble, but painful to the touch. It's hard to tell if I can move it or not. Last week I had a bad spell of vertigo which I've never had before. I went to the doctor, but didn't have the lump at the time. The lump is on the same side as the positional vertigo ear. Any ideas what it could be?
Avatar n tn 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. It looks quite exaggerated when compared with the left knee which is normal, with no pain. 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.
