What Causes Painful Bump In The Back Fold Of Knee?

I have a pea-sized bump in the back fold of my left knee. It can t be seen, but you can feel it under my skin. When I get chills, stand too long, or sit too long, it causes great pain. I was once told that it s probably just a hair follicle on a nerve. It s been here for eight years and has gotten a little bit larger over the years. It is hurting now because I m sort of cold.

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Sebaceous cyst / chronic furunculitis/ or could be Varicose Veins with Short Saphenous Incompetant valves.Pain on long sitting / standing too long ,may suggest DVT association with thrombophlebitis.Chills with it favour the thrombophlebitis factor with it.
Chronicity of the lump 8 yrs makes it more of Dormant Sebaceous Cyst with recent activated re-infection.
USG/ Color Doppler dual Imaging of the lump, would fix the Varicose cause of it.
