I have a small hard lump that feels like a bone directly below both of my knees. There is no pain, but they hurt when I kneel or when I bump them. I was told these probably developed when I was young. I am not nearly 50 years old. Any thoughts on this?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Some benign growths do occur during young age, which do not increase in size and might not cause much of a problem except for the symptoms as stated by you due to some kind of trauma. If these increase or the discomfort increases, then you might have to consult an orthopedic surgeon in your area for a clinical examination of the lump and related investigations to go for any further management. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor
