There is a bone like lump coming out on the side of my upper calf on the left side of my right knee from my perspective, doesn t hurt when I run but at night there is pain. It is about 5 inches lower than my knee cap. What is it? How can I get pain to stop?
HI, Luke,Dear, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-DEar,IN my opinion, the lump on back of rt knee, is mostly due to the old knee injury -causing Bakers Cyst-.3-The pain in the night comes when run and is due to the increased pressure of the traumatic fluid from the old injury to the knee cartilage or ligaments.4-Treatmens to stop this knee pain-would be from orthopedic surgeon or general surgeon-by 4-a -Aspiration of the Cyst-4-b - and Arthroscopic correction of the knee damage-?cartilage?ligaments?.5-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.6-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.7-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.
