How To Remove Lump From Knee?

After having three falls over about two years I have developed an egg sized lump on my knee. It doesn't hurt, but it looks horrible! I am nearly eighty and in fairly good health, 5' 2". 9 stones in weight and I take lisinoprill for blood pressure.

Hi,DEAR,Good Evening,Thanks for the query.
Bump cause on your knee-
is due to the mutliple trauma ...leading to Bursitis -Housemaids-(pre-pattellar),which is ghastly some times as in your case.
Treatment-
Excision of the Pre-patellar Bursitis -by Surgical Excision is the final treatment for it.Xry knee and CBC would be needed and your Surgeon would take care of it for you.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with your doctor.
Wellcome for any further query in this regard.
Wishing you good health.
Good Night.
