General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your family physician, I would after a clinical assessment would advise you for an x ray/MRI of your right knee joint and then refer you with the reports to an orthopedic surgeon for further management. Till then, I would advise you to avoid any kind of pressure/trauma to the lump and go for an anti inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief of pain.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
