Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As read in your history about the large bubble like swelling just below the knee cap, I ask the first question - is the area painful? If it is painfuller than a thorough assessment is advised. Post which the proper measured will be taken according to the assessment. Also, if the area is non-painful than you do not have to worry, as it can be just a soft tissue of the skin to provide some sort of fluid accumulation as you were a soccer player. Also, you can try doing hot water fermentation and see, if the area where the swelling is present gets resolved. In case if it not, then the or tho may ask for an x-ray or MRI and then see if the fluid accumulation is high, he may plan to Chat Doctor. Regards Jay In
