I have a soft lump below my knee cap (outer side of right knee.) I fell in the street about 18 months ago and have had pain since then. When sitting and both knees bent, the right knee has a protruding lump. It feels better if I apply heat, but I have an achey pain most of the time.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Most likely diagnosis for your condition on the knee is an organized hematoma following the trauma knee. If the symptoms increase in intensity, you might have to consult an orthopedic surgeon, who might advise you for an MRI scan of your knee for planning further management of the condition. Till then, you can apply heat if it soothes you, and may take an anti-inflammatory at times of pain. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
