I have a hard & small very movable bead-like thing under my shin, near my knee cap. it was painless, although irritated by my fiddling.

May be nothing: sounds like a benign subcutaneous cyst. if it doesn't grow, if it is painless, it is likely benign. observe. if it bothers you or changes can be easily evaluated and possibly removed.
