What Could Enormous Hard Knot Under The Knee Be?
I have an enormous hard knot on the lower left side under my knee. The pain and burning are excruciating. I had an mri saturday but wondered if I could get some sort of idea of your thoughts. I also am waiting for a knee replacement on this knee. Thank you

Hi Sir since you are waiting for Knee replacement it means you have advanced arthritis, a hard swelling could be an osteophyte, which are abnormal bony growths on sides of joint in arthritis, dont be over concerned as these are removed when doing a replacement surgery.
Have a Healthy knee after replacement.
All the best for surgery
