Benign Tumor Diagnosed Above Knee Cap That Has Stabbing Pain Of Late. Is This A Cause For Concern?

Hi my names Ashly, 5 years ago I was diagnosed with a benign tumor in my left knee right above the knee cap to the left. There was pain now and again but nothing severe. The past the days I've been getting shooting pains in it that will literally make me freeze up in pain. Not sure if it's something usual just wanted to see if I should seek medical attention

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your concern, If I would be your doctor then I would certainly advise you that if the size of this swelling is increasing gradually and it really starts hurting you then it must be brought to test, and if it does not causing any thing then just forget it, it may be a simple form of lipoma, hope you can understand it have nice day.
