What Causes Lump On Knee?
My wife has a small pea sized lump on the outside of the right knee. The lump is solid and hurts when its pressed. The knee hurts a little bit when going up stairs but is a lot more painful when going down. Walking is completley fine, no pain whatsoever.Our doc has given her anti inflamitories but still no change after 6 weeks.What do you suggest.
