i slightly hyperextended my knee a couple of days ago. Now I have a bulge just above and to the outside of my knee cap. I generally have some mild pain in my knees but the bulge does not hurt any more although my knee is more tender in general than normal. It seems to be right next to my ACL. What could cause this kind of bulge or localized swelling?
Hello, Tour symptoms could be suggestive of local inflammation. If the bulge persists, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam. A knee MRI may be needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
