What Causes Painful Hard Lump On Right Knee?

I have a hard lump on the outside of my right knee and pain that shoots through the inside of my knee. What is causing this? I am a 49 year old female and this has been bothering me off&on for about 3 years or more. The pain & irriation seems to get worse after I have been working in the yard, carrying grandchildren, etc., then lay down to rest.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
If you have history of trauma then it can be haematoma. Otherwise it may be some benign cyst or tumour. Ypu should go for x ray knee to know the origin of lump. Then if required go for fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
