What Causes A Small Bump And Pricking Sensation On The Corner Of The Left Knee?

Hi, I have a small bump corner of my left knee and i feel like it has slightly reduced in size when compared to last month. But when i kneel down at a certain point below my knee cap i feel like needles are pricking and it feels very bad for few seconds. I also have pain around my knees when i stand or walk for few mins. Pain is not severe. What could be the problem. I didnt have any issues in my knees or legs so far. Im 30 yrs old homemaker, 5ft6inch and 58kg. Please help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

From what you have described it seems you have bursitis around the knee joint which is secondary to osteoarthritis of the knee. It is a common condition in which the fluid contained sac around the knee which is present to decrease the friction when you are moving the knee joint becomes inflamed

All you need rondo is to take it easy for a few weeks and avoid kneeling and squatting. You can apply a local pain relieving gel and hot fomentation. If it does not decrease in a few weeks, get an x-ray of the knee joint.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
