Suggest Treatment For Small Painless Lumps On The Knee

I have a painless soft lump on the outer side of both kneecaps. What could cause this. I also have a visible protrusion in the upper right abdomen. It is about 4 inches wide and about 2 .5 inches in size. Not very painful except sometimes if I cough hard, it s very painful like it s being pulled apart.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-PrePatellar Bursitis/ or it could be due to Synovial granulation-painless accompanied with synovitis.
Remedy- for painless lumps on knee
I would suggest to treat them after having Second Opinion from Ortho-pedic Surgeon.
Treatment -
Could be by Anti-inflammatory drugs.
HOt Fomentation.
Surgical Excision-By Endoscopic Laser Ablation of Synovitis
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
-About the second query about-protrusion in upper right abdomen.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to have Epigastric Ventral hernia/ with divarication of recti or / with right Spigelian hernia,as it is painful with coughing.
This ambiguity needs to be fixed by USG study.
Repair of the hernial Weakness in the ant.abdominal wall.
I would suggest to get Second Opinion from Surgeon,who would assess the defect and would take the needful decisions to treat this hernial protrusion.

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
