Large tender bump right under my right knee?!


Question: I have no idea what is it. i had it check 3 years ago at the doctor and he said it was just growing pains. Yet it kills to even tap it and gets bigger the more active i get. (off seasons it hurts less, and gets smaller) It is a large bump right under my right knee. It hurts a ton to walk up the stairs a jump. I do not think it is growing pains nor a huge deal since i have had it for so long. any ideas? thanks

This sounds like a common knee conditions called a bakers cyst. Many people have them and as long as it doesn't affect their activities and cause too much pain they just live with it. In your case, sounds like it might be a little bothersome , in that case have your doc check it out. He can probably diagnose it by exam but will probably order an xray. Good luck!!
