I have a lump on my knee and it's very painful i've had it for years but the pain is getting worse it feels like a bone but it swells up bad any ideas?

See your doctor.: Physical exam, x-rays and possibly MRI will aid in finding out what's going on, and if surgical procedure is necessary. Pain getting worse is a sign to see a doctor about it.
