A member asked:
I have a 5 cm*1 cm swelling above my left leg knee from the left side for 2 weeks now.i made x-ray and it was normal but sometimes i feel pain ?

See details: If there is truly a soft tissue mass or swelling, the x ray may not help. An MRI is the definitive test. I urged you to see an orthopedist and continue to have the mass or swelling evaluated. It may or may not be serious.
