Suggest Treatment For Bump On Kneecap
I have a significant bump to the right of my right kneecap. It doesn't hurt but it is very warm to the touch. I've had it now for almost 2 months. I am going to see the doctor, but trying to do some homework to anticipate what procedures the doc might want. Oh, and I have a history of bad knees. I will also say that I don't trust this knee anymore going up and down the stairs. It doesn't hurt, but I do lean on the rail quite a bit.

Thanks for sharing your problem here on this forum. You have lump on the side of your knee..lump may be from different reasons. It may be due to joints problem or due skin ...but as you said that the lump is hot to touch so there are two reasons left..One may be due to joints swelling or may be due to vascular malformations. .If u can feel pulsation in it then it vascular if not then its due to joint. .you should do ultrasound of lump..and should see ur doctor. You can keep asking questions from me .thanks
