Hi.
You have 2 different problems:
1. Lump in the lower leg just below the knee. This can be due to bursitis, lipoma or so. I would advise you to get this examined by the an Orthopedic surgeon for clinical evaluation and examination, investigations like excision biopsy or so.
By this means you will have a curative treatment as well as confirmed diagnosis.

2. Headache is your another problem- Since you are getting this twice a week, it is possible that you can have a definite diagnosis and treatment by proper examination and investigations like CT scan and so on.

I think you should get a proper diagnosis.
I find this answer helpful
