Specializes in Ophthalmology

Yes: A painful lump of unknown cause should always be evaluated by a physician. It may be as simple as a knot in your calf muscle as problematic as a ruptured muscle fiber. Please go see your doctor. Hope you feel better!

Yes: Pain is always the body talking to you telling you that something is not right. Get it checked out.

I wear skinny jeans most of the time and I have noticed that I have little red lumps all over my legs specially the front of my knees and thighs. Could this be related? They are not sore or itchy.
