Suggest Remedy For Pain And Lump In Knee
So I ve had knee pain in the lateral side of my knee I had it checked out by a doctor twice and they took X-rays only they said nothing was wrong the problem is I have a hard lump that appears when I bend my knee only when bending the lump is noticeable it s not like a ball it kind of runs through the outside of my knee it is hard and I know it is not normal because it appeared a couple months ago and it goes away when I straighten my knee it s frustrating because it hurts after doing physical activities like running or playing sports any help??
