Hi, umm I have a small ball in my knee like barely an inch away from my knee cap on the side and it s smaller than a bean but I can feel it like rolling around when I touch it or mess with it (moving it around) and it doesn t hurt. Idk what it is, I play volleyball 24/7 and idk if I did something to it or not and I have knee pads on too and I m not really on my knees a lot just bending them a lot. I was thinking about seeing the docter but I m not sure if it s really nessesary. Is it something serious?
Dear Patient, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, you should know that these are cartilaginous or bony loose bodies in the knee, and they can cause problem of locking of the knee at some time, nowadays, arthroscopic removal is safe and fast way to get rid of these, and your doctor will do some tests to see if they are not pathological. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Chat Doctor.
