lump on my knee cap, what could it be?

Bursitis most likely: These are potential sacs (bursa) of fluid which are present where ever a bone is rather prominent, ie, under the skin.  These sacs get swollen to protect the underlying bone; & are liable to get inflamed (then called bursitis).

Question 9

i have a lump about an inch from my knee cap on the inside of my knee that is painful.

Accepted Answer

Varicose Vein?: Based upon your description, the most likely cause for your symptoms is a varicose vein, which is an enlarged vein that can sometimes become thrombosed (have a blood clot in it) and can become inflamed and rarely infected.  I would discuss this with your primary physician for additional recommendations and care, but also to rule out a deep venous thrombosis.

Accepted Answer

Any : Any type of mass that does not go way can be worrisome and needs to look at and possible boipsied by a professional.
