Suggest How Can I Remove A Pea Sized Lump From Inside My Knee?
I have a pea sized lump on inside of my knee that is movable (2-3 inches in range). I have some cartiledge loss in the knee itself. could this be a piece that came loose? It's not always there but appears after strenuous activity. Can't alway find it. ?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such lump is most likely a kind of ganglion. It is a benign cyst connected with a joint which contains joint fluid. Cartiledge loss is rather not related to this lump. However such cyst can appear after a knee injury.
I suggest you to consult orthopedist. Knee ultrasound should be done. If this needs a surgery, arthroscopy needs to be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
