Should i go to the doctor for the tumor on my kneecap? pushed against my jeans is enough to cause intense pain. it's about the size of a pea..

Yes: Any painful mass should be evaluated by a physician. It is most likely a benign problem (?Bursitis), but should still be checked.

Hello, I am experiencing a major knee problem. I am unable to bend it while walking because something will slip out of place (not my patella) or get caught while bending and cause severe discomfort and sometimes pain. Should I go see my knee doctor?
My knee patella dislocated at 10 years old. It only happened once a year. Now I'm 16 and it still happens much more often. Something as simple as sitting up could cause it to dislocate. My doctor said it's nothing and that was a couple of years ago?
