I have a lump on top of my knee and when i walk long distances it hurts from my knee down to my foot what could the cause of this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 problems: Sounds like knee effusion or bursitis(prepatellar, infrapatellar, or pes) is the 1st problem. The second problem is different: consider muscle strain, tendonits, neurogenic or vascular claudication.
