lump knee bone

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?

Hi, I have a lump under my collar bone, more towards my shoulder. It has been there for about a month and doesn't seem to be going away. I does not hurt. What could this be?

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. It is very painful to bend my knee and it hurts to walk. Could I have torn something or broken something? I’m very worried as I am a very busy wedding photographer. Please help.

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.

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?

I have a lump on my left clavical. The doctor thinks its a ganglion cyst. I thought these only occured on the ankle, knee, and wrist? Can you confirm?

I had total hip relacement in February 2008. I now have bone chips that have adheared to my new hip. My doctor said my body formed these bone chips. Is this possible? When I had my other hip replaced, I went for radiation on my new hip so as to not get bone chips on that new hip.

then I had an MRI which showed the femur towards the knee dying and the bone marrow was swollen, and a huge cyst behind my knee.

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.

I am an active 57 yr old woman who dislocated her knee at 17 and subsequently had two surgeries on that knee due to cartilage problems. After avoid almost all sports, I took up tennis 10 years ago without any knee problems. Two years ago when I tore a tibial tendon and was told there nothing that could be done for me, I got custom orthodics, started working with a trainer to increase muscular leg strength and lost 30 lbs.

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.

ve also noticed some discomfort and pressure on my right side above my hip bone and what feels like a lump of tissue right above my hip bone. It's not painful, but it's uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms/any advice?

But around June 2022, I noticed that I started having some slight knee pain plus heel pain, I didn’t put much attention, thinking it was probably due to my heavy workouts. I would give myself about 3 days to rest and continued lifting weights twice a week. Fast forward to July 2022 I noticed a red lump on my thigh and had it checked out by my dr. who said it was a lipoma.

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.

First of all, I'm just 15 years old. Female. I've been experiencing pain and discomfort only in my RIGHT knee and leg for nearly a year now. I can't sleep well recently. The pain is gradual. First it wasn't that bad, but now its really affecting me. Doctors aren't taking me seriously! I've already seen a couple of doctors and all they do is just pass me around. They can't even name my sickness. And i'm so sick and frustrated about it already!

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.....

About 3 1/2 years ago, I experienced really bad pain in my left leg, just below my knee. After a few days, a lump appear, that was about 5 inches in diameter. After several months and tests, an Orthopedic Surgeon looked at my MRI and said that it looked like a lipoma (possibly pushing on my nerves, that is what is causing me the pain), and I needed a plastic surgeon to remove it.

I have a hard bumb on back of knee, right on the tendon which is locur tendon....ughated on the inner side of the knee, my Dt said he cant feel it, i can feel very solis hard bump that 2inche long verticall....

My dad, 78 years old, lives on his own, has always been very active, tennis and walking, had prostate surgery about 4 weeks ago; the other morning he tried to stand up and fell down, he was taken to emergency room and then admitted to hospital - they still haven't determined medical problem and he still cannot walk - they want him to start physio, however, he says he cant walk - it's his right leg - he has a pain in his lower back down the back of his leg to his knee.

I have a hard lump on the lateral side of my knee and bruising around knee and it band. I cannot bend knee and feal pain all the time, when sitting, lying or walking. When i press lump there is irritability and pain. It hurts to straighten knee. I had an x-ray that shows a minor lateral patella tracking but my knee cap does not hurt. I have had this for a year, what can I do to fix this and go back to sport?

I am pretty much fully recovered but I still find it hard to walk fast and for long periods of time, my knee starts to hurt. I was thinking taking the screws and rods out of my leg would help me walk better. How long do they have to stay in before I can have them taken out? I was told 2 years but I dont want them in that long so I am looking for a second opinion.
