A member asked:

I was feeling below my knee, and noticed a golfball-like lump that is a little below the knee to the left (on my left knee). it is probably an inch or two below the kneecap, and then on the left side. i was wondering if this is normal to have?

Lump: Please see your doctor. Any lump of unknown origin needs to be examined. Lots of possibilities. Please don't panic. Peace and good health.
