A member asked:
When flexing right calf muscle i can see and feel bulge on bottom of muscle. had since '08. could this be popliteal artery? if no, then what?

Hard to say: Could be a nodule on the tendon, could be an old injury with residual scar. The only real way to tell is to get it checked out. Especially if it has been changing or causing any pain.
