What Could Be The Painful Lump On The Knee?
My 11 year old granddaughter has a lump on the right side of her knee that is starting to hurt. I was wondering if you have any idea what it could be. She went for an xray this morning , but we have to wait until Tuesday for the results. It is bony like a bunion.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it might be the rheumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, or a boil.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
She may need to have an X ray knee, A.P, and lateral view. R.A.factor, C.reactive protein, etc.
I usually advise to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, diclofenac till the diagnosis is established.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
