What Should I Do For A Painless Lump In My Son S Calf Muscle?
Hi my son has a painless lump in his calf muscle when he flexes it. He is a15 year old football and hockey player. We noticed the lump last night but he says it doesn t hurt. Is this something I should have a dr look at or just wait to see if it goes away?

This could be a bursa from the knee joint. You could show to an orthopedic surgeon. Can go away on its own but if infected would need treatment.
