What Are The Balls Around The Knee Area That Hurt While Stretching?

i have several balls around my knee area that really bother me. it hurts to stretch but after i am warmed up i can complete my entire work-out. unfortunately, by the next day i am feeling the pain. i have gone to get a massage where the balls have been broken and the pain goes away. my question is it safe to have the balls broken? is there a general cause to getting these horrible balls?

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

Where is the exact location of as you said bals? How much is the size of each one.

Possible causes are:
1. Baker's cyst.
2. Bursitis.
3. Arthritis.
4. Meniscal cyst.
5. Boils.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please take me a photograph and send me or consult with your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
