Suggest Remedy For Painful Lumps In Knee

I have had a terribly painful lump on the side underneath my right knee and have been told it's not a baker's cysts. i have a bone scan and MRi and nothing seems to show anything but I know 100% there IS something there--I wear ice packs all day to relieve pain. Should I see an oncologist to test it? I asm running out of doctor's to see and options other than a pain management doctor but I will still not have an answer to what it is. Thank you very much

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would prescribe you with some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief, and then refer you to an orthopedic specialist for a clinical assessment and related investigations for further management.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
