What Causes Small Hard Lump Under The Knee?
I have a small hard lump (feels like bone) directly below my right kneecap. It's not under or behind the kneecap, but below. It does not hurt all all when I touch it, however, last night i felt intermittent pain sensations in the area as I laid in bed. Also, I can only feel the hard lump when I bend me knee.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This can be problem with the tendon. There can be a fibrous band or a calcification of the tendon.
This is confirmed by X-ray / Ultrasonography.
Take an opinion of the Orthopedic Surgeon and follow his advise.
