How To Get Rid Of Lump On Knee?

I was making pizza and kneeled down to get a cutting board and as I put the pizza in the oven I noticed a huge lump the size of a tiny bouncing ball in the centre of my knee that had not been there 5 minutes before. I felt no apparent pain but as I examined it the lump felt solid and was slightly blue. I feel discomfort when I bend my knee because the lump is on my knee. It s been 2 days and the lump hasn t subsided

hi.

it could be an inflammatory reaction from too much pressure placed on your knee. it should subside in a 3-5days time. cold compress application and pain reliever as needed. may also be of help. if signs and symptoms did not improve in a weeks time, consultation with your doctor is best for clinical evaluation.

hope this helps.

good day!!
