I have a very odd bump beside my knee...it's on the inside. The skin on the outside is a little saggier than on my right knee. When I press down hard, there is a bump and it feels a lot different than my right knee. Also, my knee has been hurting going up stairs, or standing at times. it cracks sometimes when I extend it.
Hello! Welcome to HCM. This is more likely a William Morrant Baker's cyst. Its a benign swelling in a synovial bursa. Local examination is necessary for diagnosis. In my clinic, I advise excision biopsy for symptomatic cysts. Excision biopsy means the lump is excised & sample is sent for histopathologcal examination. Hope this helps. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards.
