What Causes Painful Lump On Leg?
I have two random painful grape size lumps on my lower right leg and just recently found one on left leg. I was feeling for more and found an indent across my leg about three inches below my knee. Only one of the lumps hurt, the one over my main tendon on foot and my knees have had random shooting pain.I am concerned but should I be worried out get it checked out.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Painful lump on leg and shooting pain associated with the lumps suggests nerve related lumps.
Yes, clinical assessment of the lumps is required.
Besides clinical assessment, relevant investigations like ultrasound or any other imaging modality and aspiration cytology are required to know the origin and nature of the lesions.
Management can be planned after clinical assessment and investigations.
Thanks and take care
