Can A Bump On Back Of My Knee Be A Reaction To Amoxicillin ?
Age 19 I ve been doing a lot of leg stretches and whatnot beyond what I am normally used to for exercise, and I ve had some shin splints and muscle strains and now there s a soft painless bump behind my left knee and I m really nervous. What could it be and what kind of specialist should I see for this problem or just general practitioner? Also I m on Amoxicillin if that does anything! For the last week. Is this a reaction to the Amoxicillin???

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A bump on the back of your knee can be due to stress related injury to the joint capsule or inflammatory in origin. You need to consult an orthopaedician for proper examination and diagnosis. Antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs may be needed after consulting your physician.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
