I have a hard lump or knot on the top of my knee cap for almost a year. It looks like the size of a rubber bouncy ball, doesnt hurt much, is hard and seems to be just under the skin. Any ideas what this may be? Should I see a ortho Dr or family practice dr?
Hello, That bump on your knee cup is suprapatellar bursitis, a collection of fluid in the bursa due to overuse or inflammation or friction kneeling down often, praying or profession position. I think you should go to the doctor to aspirate it with needle and put an elastic bandage. If you don't aspirate, there is a chance of infection. Wish you quick improvement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
