Suggest Remedy For A Hard Lump On The Outside Of My Right Knee

I have a hard lump on the outside of my right knee, smaller than a golf ball which is much more noticeable when I bent my leg. It feels like a bone but i don t have one on the other knee and it doesn t hurt. I m a keen jogger and gym regularly and noticed this about two months ago. Cant recall any trauma or injury. Any answers? thx.
