I m 19, 5 8 , and 140 pounds. I have a lump above my right knee that feels slightly smaller than a golf ball. It is not visisble, but you can feel that it is there. I visited the doctor and when my doctor couldn t figure out what it was she got another doctor to take a look. He was also unsure as to what it was. They said it was to hard to be many of the things they had suspected. It also did not appear on any xrays. They ordered an MRI with contrast, which should happen in the next couple days. I am a little worried, and wondering what it could possibly be???
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of lump above right knee. It is wonderful that golf ball is not so small that someone can feel, and a Doctor is not sure about it. If it is so, it is possibly a cyst of synovial origin and hence can appear in a particular position and not in other of the knee. Get an opinion of an Orthopedic surgeon along with MRI of the knee in that particular position that shows the lump otherwise it will be false negative.
