A member asked:
The lump is on my right knee at the side . it causes me pain all the time and it is visible to all people . what is it ?

The location: you describe is probably not a part of the knee joint but may be LIPOMA (fatty benign growth) which has outgrown it's blood supply and is inflammed. In any case you require a "HANDS ON" Examination!! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
