What Does A Lump Behind The Knee Indicate?
I have found a lump on the back of my leg just above the knee area. It feels deep and not at surface level. It is not quite an egg size but it surprised me with how big it is. Just hurts when I run my hand over or press. Any ideas? I did not feel a bite or strain my leg in any way.
